Kirk Lonan is a parish on the eastern coast of the Isle of Man, in the sheading of Garff.

The parish extends from Port Groudle to Slieau Ouyre, a distance of six miles, and from Carnane Bane, on the east of Pen-y-Phot, to the sea, a distance of over four miles, and contains an area of 15 square miles. It is an upland district, its western parts being hilly and barren, but its eastern parts, especially in the deep, sheltered glens, are more productive and moderately well cultivated. It contains no point exceeding 1,100 feet. Its coastline is high and rocky, and broken by several headlands and bays. The great headlands are Laxey Head, and Clay Head; and the chief openings are Bulgham Bay, Laxey Bay, Garwick, and Port Groudle. The district is pierced from east to west, or rather from N.W. to S.E. by several deep depressions—Laxey Glen, famous for its romantic beauty, extending from Snaefell to the sea; Glen Gawne, from the Skoryn to the sea at Garwick; and Groudle from Slieau Meale and Slieau Ree to the sea. A number of small streams flow down the hills to the sea, the principal of which are the Laxey River and the Glen Gawne river.

The current Captain of the Parish is Captain Jack Faragher CP.

The current Member of the House of Keys for Garff is Hon Steve Rodan SHK

The current Chairman of Lonan Parish Commissioners(2007) is Simon Clucas
