Annagry (Template:Lang-ga) is a village in the Gaeltacht area of NW Donegal, near to Crolly and with a population in the census of 247 souls. It has seen large numbers of its parish folk working in Scotland, England and Wales and much wider afield including the USA and Canada. Anagaire may derive from Ath na gCoire.

The village has an Irish speaking college in the summer months where the Irish language can be learnt by young and old alike.

Local B & B include the Bayview, in Annagry West.

A local oil supplier is McDevitt's who supply fuel oil to both local and county-wide users of oil.

In the first week of June, the Annual Festival takes place, when those who have left often return to spend some time in Sharkeys Bar, and Caisleáin Óir, (formerly Jack's Bar) and Teach Conal (formerly Duffy's).

The nearby Deeragh hill provides panoramic view of the far off Mount Errigal, Donegals highest peak.

Annagry is also the closest village to Donegal Airport, which is located 3 miles away in Carrickfinn.
