Breaffy, officially Breaghwy (; ), is a village in County Mayo, Ireland. It is 3.7km southeast of Castlebar, the county town. The village is in the townland and civil parish of Breaghwy.

== Village == The Shamrock Bar, a local pub, is adjacent to St. Aloysius' Roman Catholic Church. The current church was constructed in 1978, replacing a 19th-century structure. Across from the church is St. John's National School, which consists of the original 1890 school building, now serving as a community centre, and a modern facility developed since the 1990s that currently educates 308 pupils. The four-star Breaffy House Hotel is nestled in a wooded area on the outskirts of the village. The hotel was previously the home to the Browne family, the landlords of the area until the mid-20th century.
