Cloghroe () is a village and townland on the R579 (Cork to Banteer) road in County Cork, Ireland. It is 7 mi northwest of Cork, close to Inniscarra and Tower (via the R617 road). The Sheep River runs to the rear of the local pub Blairs Inn on the western side. The Wayside Inn is at the eastern end of the village. Cloghroe village is a linear settlement consisting of one row of houses on each side of the road.
