Firies (officially Fieries; Irish: Na Foidhrí) is a village in County Kerry, Ireland. It is on the R561 road between Farranfore and Castlemaine. The population in 2011 was 491.

Opened in 1991, the Firies National School is a rural 15 teacher and Green school.

On a rock outcrop 855 meters south of the village is the fragmentary remains of a rectangular tower. The ground-floor appears to be occupied by a single chamber which was covered by a rounded vault which is almost entirely fallen. Only part of the walling above ground-floor level survives.

Bishop Eamonn Casey - Irish clergyman.
