Frosses () is a small village in County Donegal, Ireland. It is situated in the south of the county on the R262 regional road, west of Donegal Town. The local Catholic church is St. Mary's, located on the main street.
==History== The name of the village is said to come from the Irish for "showers", which refers to food that fell from the sky and saved locals during the famine. The first chapel in the village was reportedly built in 1780, and completed in 1808. The bell tower was added to the church in 1892.
