Tartaraghan is a small village and civil parish in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 90 people. It is within Craigavon Borough Council area.

The name was formerly spelt Taghterraghan and is thought to come from Irish Teach Tíreacháin, meaning 'Tíreachán's house'.[1][2] However, the origin Tart Aracháin (meaning "Arachán's spot") has also been put forth.[3]
