Maumturks, Mountain range in Connemara, Ireland.

The Maumturks (Irish: Sléibhte Mhám Toirc, "mountains of the boar's pass") form a long, broadly straight range in Connemara, County Galway, rising east of the Twelve Bens across Lough Inagh and the Inagh Valley. Its central section is made of weathered quartzite peaks, and the range culminates at 702 metres. Near the centre, in a deep glen, lies Máméan, a pilgrimage site dedicated to Saint Patrick.

The Maumturks take their Irish name, Sléibhte Mhám Toirc (mountains of the boar's pass), from the pass at their heart. Since 1975 the University of Galway Mountaineering Club has run the annual Maamturks Challenge, a one-day walk over the full 25-kilometre range from Maam Cross to Leenaun. Near the centre, in a deep glen, lies Máméan, a pilgrimage site dedicated to Saint Patrick.

The Irish name Sléibhte Mhám Toirc means "mountains of the boar's pass". Near the centre of the range, in a deep glen, lies Máméan, a pilgrimage site dedicated to Saint Patrick that visitors still walk to. The range is also crossed by the Western Way long-distance route along the Inagh Valley.

The terrain is steep and requires proper footwear and good preparation for extended hikes. Allow sufficient time and check weather conditions carefully, as the ridges are exposed and conditions can change rapidly.

Near the centre of the range, in a deep glen, lies Máméan, a pilgrimage site dedicated to Saint Patrick. Hikers crossing the full 25-kilometre ridge often pass above it without descending into the valley.
