Dunmore (Irish: Dún Mór) is a village in County Galway, Ireland. It is located on the N83 National secondary road at its junction with the R328 and R360 regional roads.

Until the early 1980s, the N83 through Dunmore was on the main road from Sligo to Galway City. Improvements to the N17 route through Knock and Claremorris reduced the amount of traffic on the N83.
