Ógra Fianna Fáil (Irish pronunciation: [ˈoːɡɾˠə ˌfʲiənə ˈfɔːlʲ]; meaning "Youth of Fianna Fáil") is the youth wing of Fianna Fáil.
The organisation was founded in 1975 by party leader Jack Lynch under the guidance of party general secretary, Séamus Brennan. It is active on an all-Ireland basis, with branches (called cumainn) in major third level institutes and parliamentary constituencies in the Republic of Ireland. In Northern Ireland it is organised on a county and city basis, along with third level branches at the University of Ulster and Queen's University Belfast. In October 2014 Ógra became an official full member organization of European Liberal Youth at their annual congress in Berlin.
Ógra is currently the third largest youth wing on any political party in Ireland behind Labour Youth and ahead of Young Fine Gael.
Membership for Ógra Fianna Fáil is open to anyone between the ages of sixteen and thirty who supports the aims and ideals of the organisation and those of the general party itself.
From the inception of the organisation until 2011 Ógra was chaired by a member of the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party. Since 2011 Ógra have elected a president of the organisation. The first President of Ógra was Eamon Quinlan who later became mayor of Waterford City in 2015.
