Tiaquin ({{irish place name|Tigh Dachoinne}}) is a historical barony in eastern County Galway, Ireland.

Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units. They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.{{cite book |author=General Register Office of Ireland |title=Census of Ireland 1901: General topographical index |chapter-url=http://www.histpop.org/ohpr/servlet/PageBrowser?path=Browse/Census%20(by%20date)/1901/Ireland&active=yes&mno=453&tocstate=expandnew&tocseq=3800&display=sections&display=tables&display=pagetitles&pageseq=first-nonblank |series=Command papers |volume=Cd. 2071 |year=1904 |publisher=HMSO |pages=966–978 |chapter=Alphabetical index to the baronies of Ireland}}

History

The barony takes its name from Tiaquin, to the east of Monivea; the name is from Irish {{lang|ga|Tigh Dachoinne}}, "(Saint) Conainne's house."{{Cite web|url=https://www.logainm.ie/en/77/|title=Tigh Dachoinne/Tiaquin|website=logainm.ie}}{{Cite web|url=https://skehana.galwaycommunityheritage.org/content/data/barony-tiaquin|title=Barony of Tiaquin|first=Robert|last=Kenny|date=10 December 2014}}
