Aglish (An Eaglais in Irish[1]) is a small settlement in County Tipperary in Ireland. It is in the Civil parish of Aglishcloghane in the historical barony of Ormond Lower. It is located approximately 7km north of Borrisokane, 1km east of the R438 road.

The local Roman Catholic church, St. Michael’s (built 1893), is a limestone structure in a village composed of modest domestic buildings.[2]

The previously disused old school, just to the east has been restored by an Operation Transformation group into a space for the local community.[3]

The building of Aglish Church of Ireland was financed by the Board of First Fruits, it is listed (RPS Ref S9) as a protected structure.[4][5]
