County Donegal (Irish: Contae Dhún na nGall) is a county in the northwest of Ireland. It is one of three counties in the province of Ulster that did not become part of Northern Ireland. The name comes from the Irish, meaning "the fort of the foreigners" (a reference to the Vikings) and was named after the former administrative centre of Donegal Town . When first created, it was sometimes referred to as County Tyrconnel (Irish: Tír Chonaill), after the Tyrconnel earldom it succeeded. Calling the whole county Tír Conaill is technically incorrect as the Inishowen peninsula (Irish: Inis Eoghain) was historically distinct from Tír Chonaill.

Uniquely, Donegal only shares a border with one county in the Republic of Ireland, the North Connacht county of Leitrim. The rest of its land border is shared with the Northern Irish counties of Londonderry, Tyrone and Fermanagh.

The Irish spoken in the Donegal Gaeltacht (Irish speaking area) is of the West Ulster dialect, while Inishowen, which became English-speaking in the early 20th century, used the East Ulster dialect.
