Cloone (Irish: An Chluain) is a village in County Leitrim, Ireland. The village is located in the south of the county, just off the R201 regional road. It is a neighbouring town of Mohill. Its name is an Anglicised version of the Irish-language word cluain, meaning meadow.

The tower of Cloone Church is all there is left of an 1822 Church of Ireland Church. It was recently restored and is a landmark from which some of the fine angling waters in the area can be seen off the Cloone Ballinamore road. In the mid-1990s a clock was installed which was manufactured by Samuel Elliott in Dublin.
