Nephin or Nefin[1][2] (Irish: Néifinn), at 806 metres (2646 ft), is the highest standalone mountain in Ireland and the second-highest peak in Connacht (after Mweelrea).

It lies in the centre of Glen Nephin (Gleann Néifinne), a district bounded by Lough Conn to the east, the Windy Gap/Barnageehy to the south, and Birreencorragh mountain to the west.

Nephin is mentioned in Cath Maige Tuired ("The Battle of Moytura") as one of the "twelve chief mountains" of Ireland.

[3] The mountain's importance may be inferred by the decision at the Synod of Ráth Breasail in 1111 to make Nephin the northern boundary of the diocese of Cong.

Gleann Neimhthinne is stated by John O'Donovan as being one of the seven constituent parts of Tirawley.
