Clanhugh Demesne (Irish: Diméin Chlann Aodha) is a townland in County Westmeath, Ireland. It is located about 9 kilometres (6 mi) north–west of Mullingar.

Clanhugh Demesne is one of 15 townlands of the civil parish of Leny in the barony of Corkaree in the Province of Leinster. The townland covers 367 acres (1.49 km2) of which 291 acres (1.18 km2) are in Leny civil parish and 76 acres (0.31 km2) are in nearby Portnashangan civil parish.
