Dunfanaghy (Irish: Dún Fionnachaidh, meaning 'fort of the fair field')[2] is a small town, former fishing port, and commercial centre on the north coast of County Donegal, Ireland.

[2] The village is also home to a golf club, several art galleries and craft shops, and a museum, situated in part of a former workhouse, which describes the effects of the Great Famine on Dunfanaghy.

On 16 June 1942, a RAF Ferry Command Hudson aircraft (42-66130) was forced to land on a beach near Dunfanaghy.

Irish Army Archive reports confirm Harry X Ford's presence in Bundoran and not anywhere near Dunfanaghy or Portnablagh.

As in many parts of Ireland in the mid nineteenth century, a Workhouse was constructed nearby for the detention and maintenance of destitute local people.

Parts of the original building have recently been restored and now function as an interpretive centre of the Famine and its impact on the local inhabitants.

In 2018, Dunfanaghy is very well served by bus services to and from Letterkenny, the largest town in County Donegal.
