Aughareamlagh (from Irish Achadh Ramalach, meaning 'field of stagnant water') is a townland of 800 acres in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is situated approximately 2.6 miles (4.2 km) southwest of Carnlough, in the civil parish of Tickmacrevan and the historic barony of Glenarm Lower. Aughareamlagh was known for its bauxite mining.
There is a fork in the road between the A42 road (Carnough Road) and Slane Road in the area. The main landmark is the Mullaghwee Self Catering Farmhouse along Slane Road.
