Carrawen (/kær.ə.wɛn/,Carrawenian: Cnáʿon [kɾˠaːən̪ˠ]), officially the Isle of Carrawen (Carrawenian: Í Chnáʿon [iː xɾˠaːən̪ˠ]), is a self-governing British Crown dependency situated in the Bay of Donegal, about fifty kilometres west of Rossan Point. The head of state, Queen Elizabeth II, holds the title Lady of Carrawen (Ráibe Chnáʿon, masculine equivalent Ráibh Chnáʿon) and is represented by a lieutenant governor. The United Kingdom holds responsibility for the island's defence.

Humans have continuously inhabited the island of Carrawen since the 6th century BC, when Phoenician explorers and traders established a far-flung trading post in order to trade textiles, glass, chased metal goods (including bronze, iron, and gold), and ivory with the indigenous people of Ireland. With the arrival of the Gaels in the Iron Age, the Semitic dialect spoken on the isle came under significant Goidelic influence; by the early middle ages, it had developed into Classical Carrawenese, the ancestor of the modern Carrawenese language.
