Nederlands: Ferns ( Iers: Fearna) is een klein Iers historisch stadje in het noorden van County Wexford met ong. 900 inwoners.

De stad werd de hoofdplaats van het koninkrijk Leinster. De meest bekende onder hen was Dermot MacMurrough die herinnerd wordt als de vorst die de Anglo-normandiërs in 1169 naar Ierland vroeg.
