Uragh Wood (Irish: Tearmann Dúlra Choill na hIúraí) is wood in Tuosist, County Kerry, Ireland, which was designated a nature reserve in 1982. The wood is largely sessile oak and covers 87 ha.[1] It is owned by the state.

Since Ireland's adoption of the European Union's Habitats Directive, the wood has been included within a Special Area of Conservation of 1,154 ha called "Cloonee and Inchiquin Loughs, Uragh Wood" (Inchiquin[2] being the lake next to the wood).[3]
