Achavandra Muir (Scottish Gaelic: Achadh Anndra - Andrew's Field) is a hamlet in the Scottish Highlands in northeastern Scotland, about 7 kilometres from the coast. It lies just off the A9 between Dornoch and Loch Fleet.[1][2] The land in the area is dominated by bog and crofting.[3]

Historically, Achavandra Muir was occupied by Father John Sutherland, who died on 23 January 1910.[4] In 1812 there were a reported twenty settlers in Achavandra Muir.[5]
