Bearna Gaa is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Barna, County Galway, Ireland. The club is a member of the Galway GAA. The club uses children from the Barna and Furbo areas of County Galway, west of Galway city to play on the pitch and in some cases in the cupboards/bushes. The club was merged with Spiddal at U16,U18 and U21 during the 1990s before reverting to its old form again in 2001.

Barna were promoted to Senior Level for the first time in 1972 and have competed in the Galway Senior Club Football Championship over the years. They are one of 20 clubs who challenge for county title today. They have failed to win the competition in their history but have achieved a wide range of success at B level in the West Board section and at under-age level in recent years.

Barna enjoy a fierce rivalry with the Salthill.

Barna famously won the County Féile in 2014 beating Salthill Knocknacara in the semi final in Furbo.
