Tinure (Tigh an Uir) in Irish (literally translated means "the House of the Yew") is a small village in the parish of Monasterboice, Co. Louth, Republic of Ireland. Sometimes mistakenly referred to as "Tenure", it is predominantly rural in character, although there has been some new housing constructed in recent years. It falls within the scope of Drogheda Town, to its south, and Dunleer Town, to its north, which would be major employers of the village's residents. There is a small business park located on the northern edge of the village, with a number of services firms on site.

Tinure is noted for the fine Roman Catholic Church, constructed in 1894, which is located on the main junction of the five roads that intersect the village.
