Turlough is a small village located in County Mayo, Ireland, approximately 6 kilometers east of Castlebar, the county town.

The village is notable for being home to the National Museum of Ireland - Country Life, which opened in 2001 in Turlough Park House, a restored Victorian Gothic mansion. The museum showcases the traditions and daily lives of rural Irish people from the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries through extensive exhibits and collections.

The village's name derives from the Irish word "turlach," referring to a seasonal lake or water table that appears in limestone areas, reflecting the unique geological features of the region. The surrounding area features typical Irish countryside with rolling hills, farmland, and historic structures including the ruins of a 13th-century de Burgo round tower.
