The Archdeacon of Ardagh was a senior ecclesiastical officer within the Anglican Diocese of Ardagh.[1] As such he was responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the clergy[2] within the Diocese.[3]

The archdeaconry can trace its history back to Joseph Magodaig who then became the Bishop of Ardagh.[4] The Archdeaconry is now combined with that of Elphin, one of two within the United Diocese of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh[5]
