Lurgan ( ), is a town in County Armagh, Northern Ireland with a population of approximately 25,000.

The town is approximately 19 miles (30 km) southwest of Belfast and is linked by both the M1 motorway and a railway line to Belfast.
Lurgan is characteristic of many Plantation of Ulster settlements, with its straight, wide planned streets and rows of cottages. Lurgan Park, located a few hundred yards from the main street is the largest urban park in Northern Ireland and includes a sizable lake, and an original Coalbrookdale fountain. The park is overlooked by Brownlow House, a magnificent example of Elizabethan architecture. Lurgan Park is home to annual summer events such as the Lurgan Agricultural Show, the Lurgan Park Rally, noted as the largest annual motor sport event in Northern Ireland and a stage in the Circuit of Ireland Rally.
