Gurteen is a village in East County Galway, Ireland. The Irish translation of Gurteen (Irish: Góirtín) translates as "Little Ploughed Field".

Saint Kerrill's feast day is held every year on 13 June. The Roman Catholic church in Gurteen is named after a local priest, Father Michael Griffin, who was shot dead on the night of 14 November 1920, most likely by Auxiliaries.
