The Dean of Kilfenora was based at the Cathedral Church of St Fachnan (also known as St Fachtna) in Kilfenora, Clare in the small Diocese of Kilfenora within the Church of Ireland. It is probable that the Dean and Chapter were established around the end of the 12th century.

St Fachnan's is now in a semi-ruined condition, although services are still held in the nave.

The current Dean of Killaloe is also Dean of Kilfenora.
