Murrisk Friary (Irish: Mainistir Mhuraisce),[1] is a ruined Augustinian monastery located in County Mayo, Ireland. It is on the southern coast of Clew Bay, about 10km west of Westport.
Founded in 1457, the site the friary built on is reputed to be that of the original church founded by Saint Patrick.
