Dartree (Irish: Dartraí) is a barony in County Monaghan, Republic of Ireland.

Dartree is known in Irish as Dartraí from the ancient kingdom Dartraighe, named after the n-Dartraighi or Dairtre people.

Dartree is found in west County Monaghan.

Dartree barony is bordered to the northeast by Monaghan; to the southeast by Cremorne (both the preceding are also in County Monaghan); to the west by Clankelly, County Fermanagh; and to the south by Tullygarvey, County Cavan.

The O'Boylan (O'Baoigheallain) sept were kings of Dartraighe from the 8th century, as well as a chief of Airgíalla (Oriel) in the 11th century. Their reign of power in Airgíalla was broken by the MacMahons.
