Ardsollus (Irish: Áth Solas, meaning 'bright ford') (historically also written as Ardsallis) is a townland in County Clare, in Ireland.[1] The village is just outside the village of Quin and is to the south-east of Ennis. Previously it was served by the Ardsollus and Quin railway station which functioned from 1859 until 1963.

The village lies in the civil parish of Tomfinlough.[2] In past times the area was famous for its horse racing and equestrian fairs.[3]
