The Soghain were a people of ancient Ireland. Their main homeland was in Tir Soghain, later annexed into the kingdom of Hy-Many in what is now County Galway. They consisted of seven cenel's, or kindreds.

They were located in what is now the central northern part of County Galway; north of the towns of Athenry, Loughrea and Ballinasloe. Descendants of the Soghain are still found in great numbers in County Galway, bearing names such as Mannion, Ward, and Gillian.
