Dun Bharabhat (or Dun Baravat) is an Iron Age galleried dun or "semi-broch" situated on the island of Great Bernera near Lewis in Scotland (grid reference NB15583555).

Dun Bharabhat (pronounced 'Varavat') is situated on an islet in Loch Bharabhat on the island of Great Bernera which lies close to the west coast of Lewis.[1] It is to be distinguished from another Dun Bharabhat situated on a small loch near the northernmost point of Lewis.[2]

The broch stands high above the water,[3] and is connected to the shore by a 30-metre causeway.[4]
