Dermot & Gráinne's Bed is a megalithic tomb, probably a wedge tomb, located near Strabane in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The monument dates to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age period, when such collective burial structures were constructed across the island of Ireland. The site is named after the legendary figures from Irish mythology, a naming convention common to many megalithic tombs in Ireland, though such attributions reflect folklore rather than historical fact. The tomb remains a notable example of prehistoric funerary architecture from the early farming communities that occupied the region during the fourth to second millennia before the present.
