Clankelly (Irish: Clann Cheallaigh, meaning Clan Kelly or, more literally, 'Offspring of Ceallaigh' Brian G. Scott (General Editor), Claire Foley and Ronan McHugh, An Archaeological Survey of County Fermanagh: Volume 1 - Part 1: The Prehistoric Period, pp. 25-26. N.I.E.A., Belfast, and Colourpoint Books, Newtownards, 2014.) is a barony in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It is the only barony in County Fermanagh not connected to Lough Erne. It is bordered by two other baronies in Northern Ireland: Coole to the south-west; and Magherastephana to the north-west. It also borders two baronies in the Republic of Ireland: Monaghan to the north-east; and Dartree to the south-east.

History

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