Clanawley (from Irish Clann Amhlaoibh 'Clan Awley') is a barony in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.

[2] It also borders three baronies in the Republic of Ireland: Tullyhaw to the south; and Drumahaire and Rosclogher to the west.

The territory of Clanawley was first recorded in 1306, and derives its name from Amhlaoibh, the son of the first Maguire king of Fermanagh, Donn Carrach Mag Uidhir.

The name Amhlaoibh is derived from the Norse name Olaf, which became popular in a number of Gaelic families.

[1][3] Amblaoibh Mag Uidhir when he died in 1306 is noted as being the taísech (chief) of the small sept or territory of Muintir Pheodacháin.
