Clonmany (Irish: Cluain Maine) is a village in north-west Inishowen, in Co. Donegal, Ireland. The area has many local beauty spots, and the Ballyliffin area is famous for its golf course. The Urris area to the west of Clonmany village was the last bastion of the Irish language in Inishowen. In the nineteenth century, the area was a frequent location of poitín distillation (a strong Irish spirit).

The name of the town in Irish - "Cluain Maine" has been translated as both "The Meadow of St. Maine" and "The Meadow of the Monks", with the former being the more widely recognised translation.

Although it is the youngest village in Inishowen, the Clonmany area is steeped in history, and dolmens, forts and standing stones dot the landscape.
