Claregalway GAA is a Gaelic football club based in Claregalway, County Galway, Ireland. It is a member of the Galway GAA branch of the Gaelic Athletic Association. Underage teams up to U-16's play in the Galway league and championships, while the Minor, Under-21 and Senior teams compete in all further levels.

Although not a traditional stronghold of football, the success of the Galway county teams of the 1950s and 1960s stimulated the imagination of footballs locally. It was not long after Galway's "Three In a Row" that the football club was founded in 1968.

Notable players include Brian O'Donoghue and Dan Cummins. Danny and Adrian are members of the county panel. Current Cork panellist Paddy Moran is a former underage star with the club.
