Rindoon (Irish: Rinn Dúin) is an abandoned village located in County Roscommon, Ireland.

Rindoon is located on a headland reaching into Lough Ree, 4 km east of Lecarrow.

Rindoon was built in the first half of the 13th century AD, i.e. 1200–50.^[1] The castle at Rindoon is thought to date to 1227 and was constructed by Geoffrey de Marisco.^[2] With the Gaelic resurgence of the late 13th and early 14th centuries the town was sacked and later completely abandoned.^[3]
