Teelin (Irish: Teileann) is a village in County Donegal, Ireland. It is located near Slieve League, at the north-west end of Donegal Bay. Its population is about 250–300.

The village is noted for fishing, scuba diving, and traditional music. It has a fine deep harbour and boat launching facilities with safe mooring. It is still an Irish-speaking community, though this is on the wane.

Teelin was one of the first settlements to appear on maps of Ireland, as it was an important port.
