Clearburn Loch is a lochan (small loch) situated just north of the B711, 1.59km northeast of the hamlet of Buccleuch in the Scottish Borders.

The lochan gives its name to a nearby cottage, as well as its primary outflow, the Clear Burn, which leads to the Ettrick Water via the Rankle Burn.

Clearburn Loch is mentioned as a popular angling spot in an 1854 handbook, especially for brown trout. [1]
