Melbost (Scottish Gaelic: Mealabost) is a traditionally Gaelic-speaking village in Point on the east coast of the Isle of Lewis, in Scotland's north-west.

It is largely a crofting township and is about 2+1⁄2 miles (4 kilometres) east of Stornoway at the head of an isthmus connecting with the Eye Peninsula.

Melbost is technically in the district of Point; however, it is not located on the Eye Peninsula itself.

[citation needed] The RAF Stornoway war memorial is located in the village.
