Bruff () is a town in east County Limerick, in the midwest of Ireland, located on the old Limerick–Cork road (R512). The town lies on the Morning Star river, with two bridges in the town itself. The horseshoe lake of Lough Gur is nearby. The town is in a townland and civil parish of the same name.
==Name== The town's official name in Irish is An Brú, historically written as Brugh. Older spellings in English, dating from 1200 onward, include Brun, Bruun, Bruin, Brugh, Browe, and Broff, Brown, Braun, Braff, Bruno, Bruneau, and An Bru’ because of its close association with the Anglo-Norman De Lacy family. The town's name was also rendered in Irish as Brú an Léisigh; it is believed that a modern name for the town, Brú na nDéise, is a corruption of this name that was popularised from the early 1900s on.
