Ardgroom is a village on the Beara peninsula in County Cork, Ireland. It lies to the northwest of Glenbeg Lough, overlooking the Kenmare River estuary.
Near the village lie a number of megalithic monuments, the most picturesque of which is probably the stone circle to be found to the southwest of the village. It has the name "Canfea" but is sometimes called the "Ardgroom SW" circle to distinguish it from the remains of another stone circle northeast of the village. Unusually for a stone circle, its stones tend to taper toward points.
