Boherlahan (Irish: An Bóthar Leathan)[2] is a small village and census town in County Tipperary, Ireland.[3] It lies on the R660 regional road between Cashel and Holycross. Boherlahan was designated as a census town by the Central Statistics Office for the first time in the 2016 census,[4] at which time it had a population of 299 people.[1]

Charles Bianconi (1786–1875), entrepreneur and developer of coach services in Ireland, lived at Longfield House near Boherlahan,[5] and commissioned an Italianate-style memorial chapel in the village cemetery.[6][7] The local Roman Catholic church, alongside the cemetery, was built in 1964 on the site of an earlier 19th century church.[8]

The national (primary) school in the village, Saint Isidore's National School, had an enrollment of approximately 100 pupils as of 2017.[9]

The local Gaelic Athletic Association club is Boherlahan–Dualla GAA.[10]
