Carra (Irish: Ceara) is one of the nine baronies of County Mayo in Ireland, located in the mid-south area of the county. It is sometimes known as Burriscarra. It incorporates the town of Castlebar, the villages of Tourmakeady, Belcarra and Turlough, where the National Museum of Country Life is situated.

Carra covers an area from approximately Pontoon and Beltra Lough at its northern end to Partry (Ballyovey) near Ballinrobe and Tourmakeady at its southern end.

Clans in the region include the Partraige, Uí Fiachrach.^{[citation needed]} There are several references to locations and inhabitants of what is now encompassed by the barony. Such as, in Tírechán collections, the Book of Leinster and other manuscripts:

Eoin MacNeill commented:

"i. e. Fir Cherai, their land was wide, i. e. the territory of Cera, until the sons of Brion took it from them as eric for Brion, who fell by Fiachra in the battle of Damchluain.' Our texts refer evidently to a more limited district, which must be located in the northern part of the barony of Carra, bordering on the barony of Tirawley."

A place called Corcu Temne or "Temenrige" is mentioned in Trichans's Brevium as "i Ceri contra solis occasum" which MacNeill translated as "in the west of Cere/Carra".

In the original Vita tripartita Sancti Patricii, Tírechán said Saint Patrick travelled here from Conmaicne Cuile Tolad, establishing a church at a place named Cuil Chorra (Old Irish).

Moore Hall, the home place of George Henry Moore and his family from 1795 until 1923 is situated within Carra barony. A number of notable members of the Moore family were born in Moore Hall, including Maurice George Moore and the novelist George Moore. The house, situated above the shores of Lough Carra, was burned in 1923 during the Irish Civil War by the Anti-Treaty Irish Republican Army. The house was purchased by Mayo County Council in 2018 with plans for redevelopment. The majority of the surrounding estate is owned by Coillte and is maintained as a public amenity.
