Mountrath (Irish: Maighean Rátha) is a small town in County Laois. Bypassed by the M7 motorway in 2010, the town lies on the R445 midway between Dublin and Limerick, exactly 96.5 km (60 mi) from both cities. In 2006 it had a population of 1,435.

Near Mountrath on the R445 towards Portlaoise is an old Wish Tree called St Fintan's Well. The original well was filled in, but the water re-appeared in the centre of the tree. Hundreds of Irish pennies have been beaten into the bark as good luck offerings. Secondary St Aengus and The Brigidine Convent in Mountrath both closed in May/June 2009, but in September 2009 they amalgamated with nearby Patrician College Ballyfin to form Mountrath Community School
