Tyrone House in County Galway is a ruined manor house, built in the 1770s on a promontory by the estuary of the Kilcolgan river, about 2 miles (3 km) from the village of Kilcolgan, County Galway, Ireland.
The house was destroyed by the local Irish Republican Army (IRA) unit during the Irish War of Independence.
