Clanwilliam ( Irish: Clann Liam [1]) is a barony in County Limerick, Ireland. [1] According to Patrick Weston Joyce, the name Clanwilliam derives from the descendants ( clan) of William de Burgh, founder of the Burke dynasty; similarly for the Tipperary barony of Clanwilliam. [2]

Clanwilliam is bordered by the baronies of Owneybeg to the east, Coonagh to the southeast, and Smallcounty to the south; [3] to the west are Pubblebrien, Limerick City and the North Liberties. [3] To the north across the River Shannon is County Clare; to the northeast is County Tipperary. [3]
