Annagry (official name: Anagaire) [ [http://www.commissioner.ie/downloads/An_tOrdu_Logainmneacha_(Ceantair_Ghaeltachta)_2004.pdf Placenames (Ceantair Ghaeltachta) Order 2004] .] is a village in the Gaeltacht area of the Rosses, Donegal, near Gweedore and with a population of around 249. It has seen large numbers of its parish folk working in Scotland, England and Wales and much wider afield including the USA, Australia and Canada. Anagaire may derive from Áth na gCoire.The village has an Irish speaking college in the summer months where the Irish language can be learnt by young and old alike. It's local GAA club is the Naomh Mhuire Tigers.

In the first week of June, the Annual Festival takes place, when those who have left often return to spend some time in Sharkeys Bar, and Caisleáin Óir, (formerly Jack's Bar) and Teach Conal (formerly Duffy's).

The nearby Deeragh hill provides panoramic view of the far off Mount Errigal, Donegal's highest peak.

Annagry is also the closest village to Donegal Airport, which is located 3 miles away in Carrickfinn.
