Tullaghan (Irish: An Tulachán) is a village in County Leitrim, Ireland. Due to extensive property development, fueled by tax breaks, it has now mushroomed in size. The village had a population of 520 in 2002 and had grown to 764 by 2006.
It is situated on the 3 km long coastline of County Leitrim, on the N15 road between Sligo, County Sligo (35 km) and Bundoran, County Donegal (3 km). The River Drowes denotes the border between County Leitrim and County Donegal and the River Duff forms the border between County Leitrim and County Sligo.
Tullaghan coast lies at the foot of Glenade at the northern end of County Leitrim. It also includes a small (mainly inland) section of County Sligo. It extends east to the edge of Lough Melvin and Garrison lowlands, west to Bunduff strand (in the north Sligo coastal area) and inland to the northern slopes of the Dartry Mountains and the Arroo and Mountain Outliers.
The R280 road connects Tullaghan with the rest of County Leitrim.
