The Ballymaglancy cave (Irish: Uaimh Bhaile Mhic Fhlannchaidh) Special Area of Conservation is a linear stream cave and Natura 2000 site in County Galway, close to the town of Cong. The site qualifies for Special Area of Conservation status under two related criteria: the presence of the lesser horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus hipposideros) and the presence of caves not open to the public.
