Dunnamore, formerly written as Donamore, is a village and townland in Tyrone, near the main A505 road between Omagh and Cookstown.

A Neolithic or Bronze Age wedge tomb, Dunnamore Wedge Tomb, known colloquially as "Dermot and Grania's Bed", is located about two miles from the village centre.

The name of the village is from the Gaelic Domhnach Mór, meaning 'Great church'.[1]
