Athlacca (historically Athlacka, from Irish: an tÁth Leacach, meaning 'the ford of the flagstones')[1] is a small village in County Limerick, in the south west of Ireland.

It is situated 26 km south of Limerick City, on the Morningstar River.

The name Athlacca means 'ford of the flagstones', a feature that was once evident under the current St Catherine's Bridge.

Athlacca parish extends from Rathcannon in the south to Crean in the north.

[citation needed] The sheltered housing known as "Dawn Court" was built on the grounds of the old creamery.
