Cahir (Irish: an Chathair / Cathair Dún Iascaigh) is a small heritage town in South Tipperary. The town is best known for its castle and the Swiss Cottage. It is in the barony of Iffa and Offa West. The M8, was constructed west of the town between 2006 and 2008. Access to Cahir from this motorway is gained at Junctions 10 and 11. Cahir is on the Limerick–Waterford regional railway line. There are two trains a day to Tipperary and Limerick Junction and two to Clonmel, Carrick on Suir and Waterford. There is no Sunday service. Bus Éireann runs regular services to Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Waterford through the town.

Cahir Castle, which is situated on a small island in the River Suir, is the town's main tourist attraction. The nearby Galtee Mountains form the largest inland range in Ireland and are home to Glengarra Wood, which is a popular walking area. The Knockmealdown Mountains stand south of the town, while to the southwest lie the Mitchelstown Caves. The salmon weir, on the opposite side of the bridge from the castle, is a popular location to fish. A shopping precinct is centred around the town square adjacent to Castle Street. The town has a leisure centre (Duneske), an all-weather soccer pitch, all weather tennis courts, a Downhill mountain-biking track and a GAA pitch. An 18 hole Golf course lies a few kilometres outside the town.
