Boho (pronounced /ˈboʊ/ BOH, from Irish: Botha, meaning "huts") is a hamlet and a civil parish 11 kilometres (7 mi) southwest of Enniskillen in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.

Covering about 12 km × 7 km (7 mi × 4 mi) in southwest Fermanagh, Boho parish has a high density of historically significant sites stretching from the Neolithic Reyfad Stones, through the Bronze Age/Iron Age (Aghnaglack Tomb) and medieval (High Crosses) up to comparatively recent historical buildings such as the Linnett Inn.

Boho parish has a wide diversity of flora and fauna, due in part to the unique niches offered by the limestone karst substrata, some of which are unique to Northern Ireland. These features include large areas of three mountains that are found within the parish—namely Glenkeel, Knockmore and Belmore—which provide a landscape varying from high craggy bluffs, with views of neighbouring counties, to low, flat bogland punctuated by streams and lakes. Below this landscape are two of the three most cave-rich mountains in Northern Ireland, featuring the deepest cave system in Ireland at Reyfad Pot, the deepest daylight shaft in Ireland at Noon's Hole, as well as popular caves for local outdoor adventure centre groups at the Boho Caves and the nearby Pollnagollum Coolarkan.
