Birr (Irish: Biorra) is a designated Irish Heritage Town in County Offaly. It is the principle market town of South Offaly and also for parts of north east Tipperary, with graceful wide streets and elegant buildings. The main street is lined with a wide variety of shops, and there are also a number of educational facilities including 3 primary schools and one secondary school.

Many of the houses in John's Place and Oxmantown Mall have exquisite fanlight windows of the Georgian period. The town is known for Birr Castle and its gardens, and the Leviathan of Parsonstown which was for a time the largest telescope in the world. The town is situated at the meeting of the Camcor and Little Brosna rivers which flow on into the River Shannon near Victoria Lock.
