Vallay (en gaélico escocés: Bhalaigh o Bhàlaigh) es una pequeña isla localizada en el grupo de las Hébridas Exteriores, en Escocia. La isla se encuentra conectada con la isla de North Uist por una carretera, así como por una larga playa durante la marea baja.

La isla es conocida por su colonia de aves marinas y sus monumentos prehistóricos.
