Bawnboy () is a small village and townland in a valley at the foot of Slieve Rushen, between Ballyconnell and Swanlinbar, in County Cavan, Ireland.
A synod of the Catholic Provincial Council of Armagh was held in Owengallees, Baunbuidhe (Bawnboy), on 25 May 1669 where The Most Rev. Eugene MacSweeney, Lord Bishop of Kilmore, tried to depose Thomas Fitzsimons, the vicar general of the diocese.
