thumb|Séipéal Mhuire Gan Smál, on the outskirts of Tír an Fhia (Teeranea). Gorumna () is an island on the southwest coast of County Galway in Ireland.

== Geography == Gorumna is accessible from Lettermore through the R374 road and the Carraig an Logáin bridge. Much like the rest of Connemara, Gorumna has a hilly, blanket bog-esque landscape, with large expanses of rocky terrain and an abundance of furze. The island bears multiple lakes, and several townlands. thumb|alt=This image shows the blanket bog landscape of Garmna (Gorumna Island). The sky is mostly clear, and there is a field of rocks stretching from the foreground and into the background. The rugged countryside road is barely visible in the bottom corner of the image.|The landscape of central Gorumna. === Geology === Gorumna is mostly underlain by intrusive Devonian-aged Galway Granite that formed from crustal melting as a result of the Caledonian Orogeny in the late Silurian. Its southern tip also includes Ordovician-aged bedrock of sedimentary marine rocks and basalt.
