Roundstone (Irish: Cloch na Rón) is a village in Connemara, County Galway, Republic of Ireland, located on the west coast of Ireland. The town of Clifden is nearby to the north.

The anglicised name is an error on the part of the British colonial Ordnance Survey or who translated the village name; while Cloch certainly means Stone or Rock, Rón means Seal, not Round.

The village has a thriving centre for designer/makers.

Alcock and Brown, the first nonstop transatlantic fliers, crash landed in the blanket bog between Roundstone and Clifden.
