Clochar na gCon is an intact Atlantic or oceanic blanket bog and national nature reserve of approximately 3,081 acres (12.47 km2) in County Galway, Ireland.

Clochar na gCon, officially known as Clochar na gCon/Bealacooan Bog Nature Reserve, was legally protected as a national nature reserve by the Irish government in 1999.

[1] Along with Scragh Bog in County Westmeath, Cummeragh River Bog in County Kerry, parts of Clochar na gCon had been bought by the Dutch peatland conservationist, Matthijs Schouten, before being handed over to the Irish state.

[2] Before its designation as a nature reserve, the Irish Peatland Conservation Council led a campaign to save the bog from turf cutting.

During the same survey, one of Ireland's rarest birds, the merlin, was found to be breeding at the site.
