Inverin or Inveran (Irish: Indreabhán or Indreabháin) is a village in Connemara between Spiddal and Casla in County Galway, Ireland. Inverin is more strongly Irish-speaking than Spiddal, partly due to fewer commuters from Galway living there. There are a number of Irish-language summer colleges in the area, most notably Coláiste Lurgan.
It is reached from Galway city via the R336 road.
The name derives from the Irish inbhear meaning river mouth/estuary.
