An Clochán (anglicized as Cloghane; from clochán, a local type of dry-stone hut)[1] is a Gaeltacht village and townland on the Dingle Peninsula of County Kerry, Ireland, at the foot of Mount Brandon.

[2] In 1974 the village was added to the Corca Dhuibhne Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking region).

Cloghane and Brandon (An Clochán agus Cé Bhréanainn) are jointly twinned with the village of Plozévet in Brittany (France).

[4] An Clochán was the subject of a controversial[5] and influential anthropological study by Nancy Scheper-Hughes in the early 1970s, published as "Saints, Scholars and Schizophrenics: Mental Illness in Rural Ireland".

[6] According to A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland by Samuel Lewis, the town's population stood at around 222 people in 1837.
