Iain Mac Fhearchair (John MacCodrum) (1693–1779) was a Gaelic poet from North Uist.
Later in his life, he served as the official poet to Sir James MacDonald of Sleat. One of his close friends was another famous Gaelic poet Alasdair mac Mhaighstir Alasdair. One of his most popular songs is "Smeòrach Chlann Dòmhnaill" (Mavis of Clan Donald). He also composed poetry criticizing the Highland landowners for the early clearances of the Hebrides, and mundane topics such as old age and whiskey.
