Dromsally (Irish: Drom Saileach, meaning 'hill of the sally (willow) trees [1]') is a townland in the parish of Cappamore, County Limerick, Ireland.[2] It extends from the border with the parish of Murroe to the west and into the village of Cappamore to the east.

In 1847, during the Great Famine, a fever hospital was established in Dromsally. Over a two year period of its existence it catered for 556 patients of whom only 84 died.[3]

Dromsally is the birthplace and residence[4] one of Ireland's most capped rugby players John Hayes.[5]
