Leap (/ˈlɛp/; Irish: Léim Uí Dhonnabháin or An Léim)[2][3] is a village in County Cork, Ireland, situated at the north end of Glandore harbour, several miles inland from the seacoast.

[4][3] The Irish name of the village, Léim Uí Dhonnabháin, means "O'Donovan's Leap" and is reputedly derived from the story of a chieftain called O'Donovan, who was pursued by English soldiers, but escaped them by jumping across a ravine on the western side of the village.

[3] In 1684, Jeremiah O'Donovan (MP Baltimore), Lord of Clan Loughlin, obtained letters patent from Charles II of England.

[citation needed] The local Anglican community is serviced by Leap Church.

The village also has a furniture and hardware store, a petrol station/shop and a hairdresser and a beauty salon.
