Ford (Scottish Gaelic: Àth na Crà) is a small village at the southern end of Loch Awe in Argyll, Scotland. The village originated as a stopping point on the drove route to Inveraray. The Ford Hotel dates back to 1864, and was probably erected on the site of the old change house. Today it is a guest house and is a listed building. To the north-east is Eredine along the loch.
There are historic paddocks along the side of the ford to Dalavich road. A hill known as Dun Dubh overlooks the village.
