The Twelve Bens or Twelve Pins (Irish Na Beanna Beola) is a mountain range in Connemara in the west of Ireland. They are not very big (max 730m). Dedicated fell runners can hike all twelve in a single day. Topographically, this range is partnered with the Maumturks range on the other side of the lonely Gleann Eidhneach/Glen Inagh (and the route of Western Way long distance path).

The Irish names of the peaks are commonly used, especially as the English naming has not been stable. (The current anglicised names are given in parentheses.)
