The River Sullane ({{langx|ga|An Sulán}}){{cite web|url = https://www.logainm.ie/116664.aspx| publisher = Placenames Database of Ireland | website = logainm.ie | title = An Sulán / Sullane River | accessdate = 26 August 2022 }} runs from the mountains between County Cork and County Kerry in southern Ireland, near the village of Cúil Aodha. After passing Ballyvourney, it runs through the centre of Macroom, to which it provides drinking water (and occasionally floods). The Sullane is joined by the River Bohill at Ballyvourney, the River Foherish at Clondrohid, about 5 kilometres west of Macroom and the River Launa locally known as "The Launey" one kilometre east of the town. The Sullane joins the River Lee a further kilometre east.
The river is well stocked with trout,{{cite web|url = https://fishinginireland.info/trout/southwest/sullane/| publisher = Inland Fisheries Ireland | website = fishinginireland.info | title = River Sullane | date = | accessdate = 26 August 2022 }} and also contains European perch (200 g average), minnow and a small number of pike.{{citation needed|date=August 2022}} In 2024, effluent released from the Macroom Wastewater Treatment Plant polluted the Sullane; Uisce Éireann and Glanua Ireland (a company managing the plant) were later fined for the release.{{cite news |last1=Forsythe |first1=David |title=Failures that led to sewage being pumped into Cork river 'like the Keystone Cops', says judge |url=https://www.thejournal.ie/macroom-sewerage-court-6615250-Feb2025/ |access-date=6 February 2025 |publisher=The Journal |date=6 February 2024}}
