Breaclete (Scottish Gaelic: Breacleit) is a village on Great Bernera in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.

It is home to a small museum, mini-mart & off licence, school, a post office, church, community centre with café, petrol station, fire station and doctor's surgery.

Breaclete was the birthplace of Callum Macdonald (dob 4 May 1912). One of the most important literary figures in the 20th century in Scotland, he published works by Hugh McDiarmid, Sidney Goodsir Smith, Norman MacCaig, Sorley Maclean and Iain Crichton Smith. An exhibition celebrating his contribution to Scottish and Gaelic literature was held in the National Library of Scotland on the occasion of his 75th birthday in 1987 and his portrait was hung in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in 1997 to celebrate his 85th birthday.
