Clan Munro is a Highland Scottish clan. Historically the clan was based in Easter Ross in the Scottish Highlands.

The first proven clan chief on record however is Robert de Munro who died in 1369; his father is mentioned but not named in a number of charters. The clan chiefs originally held land principally at Findon on the Black Isle but exchanged it in 1350 for Estirfowlys.
