The barony of Clankelly (from the Irish: Clann Cheallaigh meaning "Clan Kelly") is a in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.[1] It is bordered by two other baronies: Coole to the west; and Magherastephana to the north. It is the only barony in County Fermanagh not connected to Lough Erne.[1]

Clankelly takes its name from Cellach, son of Tuathal, a king of the Ui Chremthainn. The MacDonnell (Irish: Mac Domhnaill) sept of the Clann Cheallaigh are noted here, and by the 13th century, the O'Cannons (Irish: Ó Canannain) who had been ousted as kings of Cinel Conaill settled here for a period.[2][3]
