Coylet is a hamlet on Loch Eck, Cowal peninsula, Argyll and Bute, in West Scotland.

It developed around the Coylet Inn, a coaching inn on the A815 road that leads to Dunoon, the main town on the peninsula. The name may be derived from Gaelic caol ait, "narrow place". Popular culture The 1994 film The Blue Boy is centred around the story of a four-year-old boy drowning in Loch Eck and haunting the Coylet Inn. It was filmed on location at the inn.
