Lough Feeagh (Irish: Loch Fíoch) is a freshwater lough (lake) in County Mayo, Ireland. It is the largest of the lakes in the Burrishoole catchment, which consists of seven lakes and interconnecting rivers and streams. Lough Feeagh is one of the lakes observed and studied by the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON).

Lough Feeagh drains into Lough Furnace, which then drains through the short Burrishoole Channel into Clew Bay in the Atlantic Ocean on the west coast of Ireland.
