Sneem is a village situated on the Iveragh Peninsula (part of the Ring of Kerry), in County Kerry, in the southwest of Ireland. It lies on the estuary of the River Sneem. National route N70 runs through the town.

The Irish village name Irish: An tSnaidhm means "the knot" in English. Several explanations of the name have been offered:

• One is that a knot-like swirling is said to take place where the River Sneem meets the currents of Kenmare Bay in the estuary, just below the village.
• Another notes that Sneem village comprises two squares, North and South. A bridge in the middle of the village, viewed from overhead, acts as a knot between the two squares.
• A less common explanation is that Sneem is the knot in the scenic Ring of Kerry.

Former French president Charles de Gaulle visited Sneem in May 1969, and monument to him now stands in the village's North Square.

A book, Sneem, The Knot in the Ring, recounts the area's history. In 2000, a time capsule was buried in the centre of the town, to be opened in 2100.
