Traad is a townland in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Located at the north-east of Lough Neagh, it has a large conservation area that is abundant with wildlife as well as a nine-hole golf club.

The Ulster Freshwater Laboratory

It contains the now abandoned Ulster Freshwater Laboratory at its eastern-most extent, known as Traad Point. This laboratory was formerly the largest marine biology center in the UK.
