Dunmore (Irish: Dún Mór, meaning 'big fort')[2] is a town in County Galway, Ireland.

[2] The town belongs to an ancient tuath called Conmhaícne Dúna-Móir and Cenél Dubáin, ruled by Uí Conchobair of Ui Briuin Ai from the 12th century, and a capital of Connacht for a time.

In 1315 it was once more the scene of conflict when an army, led by Rory O'Connor, attacked and damaged the fortress.

The local association football (soccer) club, Dunmore Town AFC, was founded in 1979 and fields some underage teams in the Roscommon League.
