Lecanvey (Irish: Leac an Anfa)[1] or Leckanvy (Irish: Leic Ainimhe)[2] is a seaside village in County Mayo, Ireland, between Westport and Louisburgh, about 2 km west of Murrisk. It has a small beach with Lecanvey Pier. To the south is Croagh Patrick. To the west is Clare Island.

The Lecanvey Community Alliance was constituted in 2006,[3] with the intent to improve the environment of the parts of the area which do not fall into the catchment area of Murrisk or of Louisburgh.

Lecanvey is located on the R335 regional road.

Bus Éireann local route 450 Louisburgh-Lecanvey-Murrisk-Westport provides two to three journeys in each direction daily except Sundays. On Thursdays the route extends west to Killadoon.[4]
