Donald Cameron of Lochiel (c. 1695 – 26 October 1748), popularly known as the Gentle Lochiel, was a Scottish Jacobite, soldier and hereditary chief of Clan Cameron, traditionally loyal to the exiled House of Stuart. His support for Prince Charles Edward Stuart proved pivotal in the early stages of the 1745 Jacobite Rising. Lochiel was among the Highlanders defeated at the Battle of Culloden, and thereafter fled to France.
