The Burn Dale (Irish: An Daoil, meaning 'the Black One'[3]) is a burn or small river in the east of County Donegal in Ulster, the northern province in Ireland.

[11] The Burn Dale rises in, and flows through, East Donegal.

[16][17] Some stretches of the burn form the boundary between the Finn Valley and The Laggan, two traditional 'districts' in East Donegal.

[18][19] It empties into the River Foyle directly opposite the Islandmore,[20] a townland and part of an island that is just under a mile east from Mulrine's Bridge, entering a channel of the Foyle about a mile north-north-east of Lifford Bridge.

The stretch of the R236 known locally as 'the Braaid Rayid' or 'the Braaid Roád', both Ulster-Scots terms meaning 'the Broad Road', crosses the Burn Dale at Glasly Bridge, just to the west-south-west of Convoy.
