The Ramna Stacks are a group of skerries in the Shetland islands. They are north of the northern tip of Mainland, and along with nearby Gruney they are a special protection area on account of their birdlife.

From north to south they consist of:

• Gaut Skerries

• Outer Stack

• Scordar

• Turla

• Speolk

• Hyter (formerly Driter)

• Stab

• Ofoora

• Fladda (which has a natural arch and two caves)

• Flae-ass

• Barlcudda

Gruney and the islet of The Club lie just to the south of the Ramna Stacks.

The Ramna Stacks also lent their name to Welsh nu-jazz band, ramnastax.
