The Islands of the lower Firth of Clyde is the smallest of the three major Scottish island groups after the Hebrides and the Northern Isles.

The islands are situated in Scotland in the Firth of Clyde between Ayrshire and Argyll. They include:

Arran, Bute, Great Cumbrae, Holy Isle and Inchmarnock are all inhabited and are serviced by dedicated ferry routes. Little Cumbrae and Sanda are also inhabited but without ferry services. The rest of the islands are uninhabited.

The majority of the islands at one time made up the traditional county of Bute. Today the islands are split more or less equally between the modern unitary authorities of Argyll and Bute and North Ayrshire with only Ailsa Craig and Lady Isle falling outwith these two areas in South Ayrshire.
