Rosguill (Irish language and official name: Ros Goill)^[1] is a peninsula situated in the north-north-west of County Donegal on the north coast of Ulster, the northern province in Ireland. Lying between the peninsulae of Fanad to the east and Horn Head to the west, Rosguill is a dichotomy of heathland and ocean. Sheephaven Bay lies on the western side of the peninsula, while Mulroy Bay lies on the eastern side. Between, a mixture of bog, hill and pastureland, the ancient walls, remnants of cattle enclosures, and the various evidences of fortification are proof of the area's use since antiquity. The Parish of Rosguill is an alternative name for the Parish of Mevagh, which covers the peninsula and an equally sized hinterland.

There are nearly 800 people living in Rosguill electoral division, while 33% of residents are native Irish speakers.
