Mullaghmore (Irish: An Mullach Mór) is a village in County Sligo, Ireland. It is a noted holiday destination, characterised by a skyline dominated by the monolithic shape of the mountain Belbulben.
It was a favoured holiday retreat of Louis Mountbatten, and it was here that he, along with The Dowager Baroness Brabourne, The Hon. Nicholas Knatchbull and Paul Maxwell, were killed by a bomb planted by the Provisional IRA in August 1979.
It is the birthplace of historian and author Joe McGowan.
