Cleggan (Irish: An Cloigeann, meaning 'the headland')[1] is a fishing village in County Galway, Ireland.

At the top of Cleggan head, which gives a commanding view of the harbour, is the remains of a watchtower constructed during the Napoleonic wars.

The disaster and the devastation visited on the local families made international news and funds were raised from as far away as the U.K., U.S. and Australia.

Irish singer/songwriter Saoirse Mhór wrote the song "The Cleggan Bay Disaster" (Greenhill Media 2013) which was the title track of the 2013 release by the German/Irish Folk band Fleadh.

Cleggan now receives more tourists, but traditionally the main source of income in the village has been fishing, supplemented by farming, which is difficult in the area's soil.

In addition to trips to the local islands, leisure activities for visitors include horseback riding and fishing.
