Lochmaben is a village in Dumfries and Galloway, southwest Scotland. It lies four miles west of Lockerbie.

Its War Memorial is a statue of a soldier of the King’s Own Scottish Borderers regiment with bowed head and inverted rifle and can be found at the south end of Main Street at the junction of Lockerbie Road (the A 709) and Annan Road (the B 7020).
