Maughold is a village and parish in the Isle of Man, within the sheading of Garff. It is named for Maughold, the island's patron saint.

The village stands on the coast some three miles from Ramsey, with mountainous terrain on its landward side. The parish includes most of the North Barrule, the second highest hill on the island, as well as the southern part of Ramsey.

Around and about the village

Kirk Maughold, the parish church, contains a number of historically important Celtic crosses, suggesting that it was the site of an early Christian monastery.

A proportion of the land in the area has been in the ownership of Manx National Heritage since 1965.

Maughold Head to the east of the village is the easternmost point on the island and has a lighthouse. There are no other significant settlements in the parish.
