Derrygonnelly Harps is a Gaelic football club from Derrygonnelly in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, founded in 1924. The club participates in Fermanagh competitions and has won the Fermanagh Senior Football Championship nine times. The club colours are purple and yellow. The name Derrygonnelly (Doire Ó gConaile), when translated, means the "Oak Wood of O'Connolly". The Harps' playing complex is about half a mile outside Derrygonnelly village. The grounds, known as Canon Maguire Park, comprises the main playing field, a full size training pitch, a changing room complex, a meeting room and a covered stand.
