Lahinch or Lehinch is a small town on Liscannor Bay, on the northwest coast of County Clare, Ireland.
It lies on the N67 national secondary road, between Milltown Malbay and Ennistymon.
It is ~75 km (47 mi) by road southwest of Galway and ~68 km (42 mi) northwest of Limerick.
The town is a seaside resort and is home to the Lahinch Golf Club. It is also a popular surfing location.
The town was recorded by the Annals of the Four Masters as Leith Innse.
This is a variant of the Irish word for a peninsula leithinis ("half island"), which describes the village's location between the Inagh River and the sea.
The town today is mostly spelt "Lahinch", but some road signs in the area use the spelling "Lehinch".
