Ardrahan (Irish: Ard Raithin, meaning 'high ringfort')[2] is a village and civil parish in County Galway, Ireland.

Richard de Burgo conquered Galway in 1236, and granted the land to Maurice Fitzgerald who built the castle whose ruins still stand today.

The churchyard wall contains the remains of a round tower, which suggests that a monastic community may have existed on the site before the castle was built.

Tulira Castle was for a long time owned by Galway County Council, but was bought in 2015 by CarTrawler owner Niall Turley for €5.8 million.

Ardrahan also features in the rousing ballad The West's Awake, most famously rendered by Joe McDonagh in the immediate aftermath of Galway's All Ireland Hurling Championship victory of 1980.
