Feenagh (Irish: Fíodhnach, meaning "wooded place") is a village in west County Limerick, Ireland, ten miles from Newcastle West and six miles from Dromcolliher.
The village has one shop/post office, which is located on the site of the former Royal Irish Constabulary barracks near the old village pump. Feenagh also has a butcher shop and two pubs.
The new national school was built in 1970 and has seven An Taisce green flags to its name. The Carnegie Library was built in 1917, and the old National School, built in 1847, is now used as a community centre.
The creamery built in the 1890s is now a garage. There are two holy wells in the locality of Feenagh. There was a new housing estate built on the site where once stood the village forge. The village originated as a settlement in Cloncrew. Feenagh/Kilmeedy became a parish in 1851. The population of the parish is about 900. The church in Feenagh was built in the 18th century and was rebuilt in the 1870s. The stained glass window at the altar of the church was donated in memory of Hanora Irwin-Mc Mahon, by David Mc Mahon, native of Broadford.
