Carlingford Lough (Irish: Loch Cairlinn; Ulster Scots: Carlinford Loch or Cairlinfurd Loch is a glacial fjord or sea inlet that forms part of the border between Northern Ireland to the north and the Republic of Ireland to the south. On its northern shore is County Down and on its southern shore is County Louth. At its extreme interior angle (the northwest corner) it is fed by the Newry River and the Newry Canal.

The name is derived from the Old Norse Kerlingfjǫrðr, which means “narrow sea-inlet of the hag”. Historically it was called Cuan Snámh-Aighneach, Snámh-Aighneach or Cuan Cairlinne in Irish. An older English name was Nury (Newry) Bay.

The lough is navigable, and its seaward entrance is marked by the Haulbowline Lighthouse, which was built in 1824.There is a deep water cargo port at Greenore, and a smaller fishing harbour at Carlingford.A commercial marina lies north of Carlingford town, close to the start of the greenway.
