Annyalla or Annayalla (Irish: Eanaigh Gheala, meaning 'bright marshes or pools')[2] is a small village and townland situated in the east of County Monaghan in Ireland between Castleblayney and Clontibret. Annyalla townland is part of the civil parish of Clontibret.[2]

The main feature of the village is St Michael's church, built between 1922 and 1927.[3] It was designed by the architect William A Scott and completed under the supervision of R M Butler of University College Dublin.[4][5]

The Monaghan Gaelic Athletic Association Training & Development Centre, is located nearby at Cloghan. Since November 2007 the village has been by-passed by the Castleblayney to Clontibret by-pass.

Annayalla was designated as a census town by the Central Statistics Office for the first time in the 2016 census,[6] at which time it had a population of 228 people.[1]
