Lentran is a small hamlet on the south shore of the Beauly Firth, 3 km east of Kirkhill and 8 km west of Inverness, in the Highland council area of Scotland.

The area was served by Lentran railway station, on the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway, which opened in 1862. This station closed to passengers in 1960, and to goods in 1964.

In the area is Lentran House, a Scottish Baronial style mansion built in 1866, now a Category B listed building. It was the formerly home of the provost of Inverness, and later used as a nursing home. During the Second World War Lentran House was used as a camp for a Royal Air Force maintenance unit. The cellar was famous for the WW2 RAF mural on the walls. In the 1970s is was the base for the local raspberry picking and freezing operations run by a Cheshire family, which was based at nearby Perimeter Farms Limited facility at Lentran Fruit Farm. It has now been developed into apartments.
