Clogher is a barony in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.[2] It is bordered by four other baronies in Northern Ireland: Omagh East to the north; Dungannon Lower to the east; Magherastephana to the south; and Tirkennedy to the south-west.[2] It also borders two baronies in the Republic of Ireland: Trough and Monaghan both to the south-east.

In the eighteenth century Clogher barony was sometimes called Upper Dungannon, by contrast with the then barony of Dungannon;[3] it is not to be confused with the modern Dungannon Upper barony created by the 1837 subdivision of Dungannon barony.[4]
