Creggs (Irish: Na Creaga)^[1] is a small village and townland in County Galway, Ireland. It is on the border with County Roscommon, on the R362 regional road between Glenamaddy and Roscommon town.

With a population of approximately one hundred people, the village now contains two public houses (although it used to contain seven).^{[citation needed]} The village of Creggs was also once the location of a monthly fair, dancing, football and Feiseanna (music competitions).^{[citation needed]}

The village has a rugby union team. The rugby grounds is known as the Green. The club has four playing pitches including a full-size artificial pitch.^{[citation needed]} The rugby club also has a circa one kilometre community amenity walkway around its grounds.^{[citation needed]}

A memorial in the village at the entrance to the rugby club commemorates the last speech by Charles Stewart Parnell, which was made here approximately two weeks before his death. The memorial was erected by Éamon de Valera in 1946, on the centenary of Parnell's birth.
