Lurigethan is a largely rural electoral ward in the Causeway Coast and Glens district of Northern Ireland, lying just inland from the north Antrim coast and to the west of Ballycastle. The area is dominated by the distinctive steep-sided hill of Lurigethan and a mix of pasture, small farms and upland heath, offering wide views towards the Glens of Antrim and the coastal seascape.

Local life is shaped by agriculture and outdoor recreation, with residents often linked to nearby coastal tourism and heritage routes such as the approach to the Giant's Causeway. Scattered archaeological features and a strong tradition of community music and events reflect the ward’s rural history and social ties within Causeway Coast and Glens.
