Shalloch on Minnoch () is a hill in the Range of the Awful Hand, a sub-range of the Galloway Hills range, part of the Southern Uplands of Scotland. It is frequently climbed from Stinchar bridge to the north, or as part of a full traverse of the range.
It was likely originally called Bellachgy Hill (from ), before taking the name Cairnshalloch () after the Shalloch estate. The mountain then took, in English, the name of the farm itself: Shalloch on Minnoch.
