Errew (Irish: An tOireamh)[1] is a small rural settlement, about 8 km south from the county town of Castlebar, County Mayo, Ireland.

The history of Errew follows the Franciscan monastery which was established in 1879 as a boys school which closed in 1975, the church in the monastery remained open until 1981. There are 22 Brothers buried in the Monastery cemetery.[2]

Gilla Áedha Ua Maigín, Bishop of Cork (died 1172), is noted in the Annals of the Four Masters as "of the family of Errew of Lough Con."

Errew has a national school, and as well as a number of archaeological sites, such as forts, souterrains and fairy forts.[citation needed]
