Aughrim (Irish: Eachroim, meaning 'horse ridge')[2] is a small village in County Galway, Ireland. It is located between the towns of Loughrea and Ballinasloe, along the old N6 national primary road (now listed as the R446 regional road) that used to be the main road between Galway and Dublin. According to the Irish census of 2011, the division had a population of 595.

It was in Aughrim that the Marquis de St Ruth prepared the Irish Catholic Jacobite troops for the Battle of Aughrim which was fought, during the Williamite war in Ireland, on 12 July 1691. Two ringforts located to the south (in Attidermot townland) are a National Monument.

Community organisations

Aughrim is the base for the charitable organisation Sunflowers Chernobyl Appeal which carry out voluntary work in areas in Belarus affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.[3]
