Noughaval (Irish: Nuachabháil) is a small village in the townland with the same name in County Clare, Ireland.

It is said to be the site where St. Mogua founded a monastery. The name means so much as "new monastic settlement". The old church is from the twelfth century but using older stonework.

The present church is the Church of St. Mochua. This was originally a Protestant church in 1860, located in Ballyvaughan, but carefully disassembled and moved to Noughaval. It entered service again in 1943.

A stone pillar near the church is said to be a market cross.
