Rann na Feirste (English: Rannafast or Ranafast) is a townland situated in The Rosses, north-west County Donegal, Ireland.

The Irish Language is spoken by most locals and remains dedicated to the Irish culture. This is partly because it is a Gaeltacht area.

Famous locals include writers Séamus Ó Grianna and Seosamh Mac Grianna, and musicians Skara Brae. Rann na Feirste is a Gaeltacht area and every Summer it is filled with students from other parts of Ireland who come to the area, stay with local families and improve their Irish language skills. The Irish college in the area is called Coláiste Bhríde (St. Brigid's College in English)
