}}The Cloughjordan Eco-Village is an ongoing project to create an eco-village community with commitments to ecological, social and economic sustainability. This community is being developed on {{convert|67|acre|m2}} of farmland within the townland of Oxpark purchased in 2005 and merges with the existing village of Cloughjordan, County Tipperary in Ireland.[2] The first residents moved into their homes in the eco-village in December 2009.[3]

A 500 m2 array of solar water heating panels, was launched in May 2011.[4] This will provide additional hot water for the district heating system which is now powered by a wood chip boiler.

A community-supported agriculture scheme was established in 2008. Members of Cloughjordan community farm are drawn from the eco-village and surrounding area. The farm aims to supply members' families with much of their food using biodynamic principles.[5] The farm cultivates 12 acres within the eco-village.

Village Education Research and Training (VERT) is a working group within the eco-village. It is committed to running courses encouraging best practice in sustainable living.[6]

Twenty nine near zero-energy buildings in the village were open to the public during the "Near Zero Energy Buildings Open Doors Ireland" event held in November 2013.[7] Other NZEB Open Doors events took place in Belgium, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Hungary, France, Malta, Slovenia, Poland under the NZEB 2021 program promoted by the European Union.

A community amphitheatre, created within the eco-village was opened by Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland in April 2017.[8]
