Clogherbog is a townland in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It is part of the civil parish of Boho, and contains the sub-townlands of Carrickrory, Lough Nacloyduff, Loughanquin, Loughnamanfin and Tullylaur.{{cite book |title=Boho Heritage: A treasure trove of history and lore |author=Boho Heritage Organisation |publisher=Nicholson & Bass Ltd, Mallusk, Northern Ireland |editor=Edel Bannon |editor2=Louise Mclaughlin |editor3=Cecilia Flanagan |year=2009 |isbn=978-0-9560607-0-9 |pages=246}} It is situated within Fermanagh and Omagh district.

The area is notable for the discovered remnants of ancient civilisations, including an Iron Age wooden cauldron{{cite book |last=Lanigan Wood |first=H. |year=2003 |title=Prehistory of Fermanagh: stone-age hunters to saints and scholars |publisher=Fermanagh District Council |location=Enniskillen |isbn=0-9540727-1-5}} and the lettered cave at Lough Nacloyduff (the lake of the dark caverns), which contains primitive inscriptions. The origins of this cave have been speculated on since a visit in 1850 by archaeologist William Wakeman, who subsequently presented his findings to the Royal Irish Academy.{{cite book| last=Wakeman| first=William F.| title=Lough Erne, Enniskillen, Belleek, Ballyshannon, and Bundoran: with Routes from Dublin to Enniskillen and Bundoran, by Rail or Steamboat|publisher=Mullany, John|location=Dublin|year=1870|page=125|url=https://archive.org/stream/lougherneennisk00wakegoog#page/n139/mode/1up|accessdate=12 December 2011}}{{cite journal |last=Wakeman |first=William Francis |title=On the inscribed cavern at Lough Nacloyduff, Parish of Bohoe, Co.

Other features include a Mass rock which is inscribed with the date of 1777 and the Lake of the Fair Woman ({{langx|ga|Loch na mban fionn}}) which is the subject of an old tale.
