Ballybofey (/ˌbælibəˈfeɪ/ BAL-ee-bə-FAY, locally /ˌbælbəˈfeɪ/ BAL-bə-FAY; Irish: Bealach Féich, meaning 'Fiach's pass') is a town located on the south bank of the River Finn, County Donegal, Ireland.

[1] A few miles west of Ballybofey, on the main road to Fintown (the R252), is the Glenmore Estate, located at Welchtown.

This is due to laws during plantation times when certain Catholic buildings were not allowed within a specified range of Protestant towns, in this case Stranorlar, though Stranorlar now has both a Roman Catholic and a Church of Ireland church.

Ballybofey previously played host to an annual Twin Towns Festival.

[12] Seán MacCumhaill Park is also located in Ballybofey, where the Donegal senior football team have their county office and play most of their home games.
