Arigna (Irish An Airnigh) is a village in County Roscommon, Ireland.
Arigna, near Lough Allen (on the Shannon-Erne Waterway), is a sleepy, easy-going village on a scenic route between Keadue and Sliabh an Iarainn (Gaelic for "Iron Mountain"). The surrounding area has great and unspoiled beauty.
Up to 20 years ago, Arigna had a working coal-mine with more than 400 people working for the company. Today, a small museum hosts artefacts of the Mining Experience and visitors are taken down the mine to experience the conditions under which local people worked for years.
