Clan Ross (Scottish Gaelic: Clann Anndrais is a Highland Scottish clan. The original chiefs of the clan were the original Earls of Ross.

The first recorded chief of the Clan Ross was "Fearcher Mac an t-Sagirt" which in English meant "son of the priest" alluding to his Ó Beólláin descent from the hereditary Abbots of Applecross. Fearchar helped King Alexander II of Scotland (1214–1249) crush a rebellion by Donald Bane, a rival claimant to the Scottish throne. Fearchar was knighted by the king and by 1234 he was officially recognised with the title of Earl of Ross.
