The Bangor Trail is a waymarked walking trail in Erris, North Mayo, Ireland. The trail, which is approximately 22 miles (35 km) in length, takes a route south from Bangor Erris through the Nephin Beg Range to Newport. Walking guides and maps of the Bangor Trail have been published by Mayo County Council.

It is a fairly tough and remote hiking trail, in an area of largely blanket bog terrain. The Bangor Trail follows an old drover path which may date from the Iron Age. There are, along the route, evidence of previous human habitation, particularly from the mid-19th century just prior to the Irish Famine.

The Western Way is another walking trail in the same area.
