Clashnessie is a small crofting community in the Assynt area of Sutherland on the north-west coast of Scotland. The township is scattered around the sandy beach of Clashnessie Bay and derives its name from the Gaelic clais an easaidh, meaning glen of the waterfall, referring to the waterfall at the head of the shallow glen in which most of the houses stand.
