Lough Anure is a freshwater lake in the northwest of County Donegal, Ireland.
Lough Anure is about 8km (05miles) northeast of Dungloe. It is the largest lake in the Rosses region of the county. The lake drains to the north via the River Crolly (also known as the Gweedore River).
Fish species in Lough Anure include brown trout, common minnow, salmon and the critically endangered European eel. Brown trout are the most abundant. Salmon are not always present in the lake and the 2020 fish stock survey recorded only a single specimen.
