The Cronaniv Burn (Irish: Abhainn Chró Nimhe, meaning 'Poisoned Glen River'; the English name of the burn probably comes from the version Cró na Nimhe, meaning 'Hollow / Glen of the Poison') is a burn or small river that flows through the Poisoned Glen in Gaoth Dobhair, a district in the north-west of County Donegal in Ulster, the northern province in Ireland. In the Ulster Scots dialect, a 'burn' is a stream or small river.
