Vista del Bogside, desde las murallas de Derry.

El Bogside (en irlandés, Taobh an bhogaigh) es un vecindario situado más allá de los muros de la ciudad de Derry, en Irlanda del Norte. Dicho lugar es comunmente conocido por haber sido escenario de numerosos sucesos durante el Conflicto de Irlanda del Norte durante los años 60 y 70 del siglo XX, tales como la Batalla del Bogside, el Domingo Sangriento, la Operación Motorman o el establecimiento del "área no-go" conodida como Free Derry.

En la actualidad, los grandes murales alusivos a dicha época, realizados por los Artistas del Bogside, la esquina Free Derry y el Gasyard Feile (un festival anual de música y artes) son las atracciones turísticas más importantes.
