Tubber (from Irish an Tobar, meaning 'the well') is a village in the north of County Clare, Ireland.
The village is part of the barony of Inchiquin, about 6 miles (9.7 km) from Corofin on the road to Gort in County Galway.
The village of Tubber in County Clare is the southern part of a loosely defined rural community that spans the border between County Galway and County Clare.Tubber, County Galway is adjacent and lies in the parish of Beagh in the Diocese of Kilmacduagh. The area as a whole roughly encompasses the townlands with a 3 miles (4.8 km) radius of St Michael's church at Tubber Cross.
A 2001 travelogue described Tubber as "a place a mile long with a pub at either end ... one part of it appeared to be in Clare, the other in Galway." The village of Tubber is small, centred on the church and the local primary school. Tubber National School was established in 1852 as part of the chapel of Tubber, with about a hundred pupils. It taught Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, History and Geography. The teacher was paid a small salary, and charged small fees to senior pupils who could afford it.
Conor Engineering has their plant on the Crusheen road. The company has been manufacturing farm machinery since 1969.

Saint Michael's church in Tubber
There are no traces of the original church, which was dedicated to an obscure saint named Caoidé. His festival fell on 3 March. The remains of the later Kilkeedy church date to the 14th century. There was an old church at Kells, or Cealla in Irish, but little remains of the site. Another ruined church near Boston, surrounded by a burial ground, seems very old. In 1897 part of the east gable was still standing. The remains of other ancient churches are Templenadeirce, Cill Taice and Teampal Mor (Templemore). The Teampall na Déirce Graveyard is southeast of the Tubber-Ruan road in the townland of Shanballysallagh at 52°58′29″N 8°54′41″W / 52.97475°N 8.91127°W. The ruins of the church are at the north of the cemetery. The gravestones face east.
