Clann Mhuire (Irish pronunciation: [klˠɑːn̪ˠ ˈwɪɾʲə], lit.'Clan of Mary') is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based at Naul, County Dublin, Ireland, serving Naul and its surrounding areas.[2][3]

The club was founded in 1957,[4] and originally based in Reynoldstown before later moving to just outside Naul village. Its crest depicts a football; St Bernadette praying to the Marian apparition at Lourdes (the club was founded just after the Marian year 1954); and the Big Tree, a sweet chestnut that stood in the centre of Naul until 2017.[5]

Its current pitch on the Fieldstown road was opened on 16 May 2004 by then-GAA president Sean Kelly.[2][6]

The club fields teams from U-8 to U-18 for both boys and girls.[7][8] At adult level, the club has two football teams competing in Dublin AFL Div. 3[9] and AFL Div. 8,[10] the Dublin Intermediate Football Championship,[11] and one ladies football team in Division 2.[12]
