Doonaha (Irish: Dún Átha) is a small village on the Loop Head peninsula in County Clare, Ireland. It is located along the R487 road and close to the banks of the River Shannon.

The Doonaha Battery was the northern part of the defences of the Shannon River. His counter part is the Corran Point battery on the southern banks. The Doonaha Battery is severely eroded and has lost its cannons.
