Parteen (Irish: An Pairtín) is a village in County Clare, Ireland. It is situated in the townland of the same name that is part of the civil parish of St Patrick's. It is also part of an Ecclesiastical parish of "Parteen-Meelick" in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Limerick.[1] The village has a large church (St Patrick's), three public houses, a national school and one shop. It is within sight of the Ardnacrusha hydro-electric power station.

The village is close to the city of Limerick which is on the left bank of the River Shannon near the suburb of Corbally.

Kilquane Graveyard is situated around the site of the church ruin in the parish of St. Patrick’s in Parteen. It is located in the back of the Shannon Banks Estate in Corbally and is on the Clare bank of the river Shannon.[2]

Dublin City Council published a plan in 2011 to supply up to 350 million litres of water a day from Lough Derg to Dublin city and region. In 2016 the Parteen Basin was chosen as the proposed site of extraction. Water would be pumped to a break pressure tank at Knockanacree near Cloughjordan in County Tipperary and gravity fed from there to Dublin. [3] [4]

On sports, the village offers a Pitch and Putt and Parteen-St. Nicholas [GAA.
