An Cumann Gaelach is the Irish Language Society at The University of Dublin, Trinity College (Irish: "Ollscoil Átha Cliath, Coláiste na Tríonóide"). Established in 1906, the society has grown over the past century to become the third largest society in Trinity College, and the largest Cumann Gaelach in the country.

The society's main objective is the promotion of the Irish language in the college, organizing events throughout the year to satisfy the many Irish speakers of the institution. The nature of these events can vary widely, from céilí, various receptions, debating competitions, lectures, screening Irish language films, to concerts and the weekly "Conversation Circle". The beginning of Hilary term is also set aside for Éigse, an entire week dedicated to the Irish language in Trinity College. The society is also responsible for the monthly, Irish language, college magzine, "Tuathal".
