Casla, (occasionally known by its Ordnance-Survey Anglicisation, Costelloe) is a village in the Irish speaking area of western County Galway between Inveran and Carraroe. It is the headquarters of Raidió na Gaeltachta.
The Irish form Casla is more commonly used than Costelloe by English speakers, even when using English. Casla is also used by the local community and local media. The anglicised form Costelloe is a mistranslation as Casla was wrongly thought to be the Irish for the Irish surname Costelloe.
