Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knockdomny is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Knockdomny, County Westmeath, Ireland. The 1837 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map depicts it as a roughly oval-shaped tree-lined enclosure situated in gently undulating pasture. A later 1910 edition of the Ordnance Survey twenty-five-inch map shows the site as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork. The levelled monument is visible on Digital Globe aerial photography as a roughly oval-shaped cropmark.
