Bishopstown () is a suburb of Cork, located in the south west of the city. It is made-up of the townlands of Ballineaspigbeg and Ballineaspigmore (sometimes spelled Ballinaspigmore), and is located in the civil parish of St. Finbar's in the historical Barony of Cork. It is near the town of Ballincollig, a satellite of Cork City, and is home to a number of schools and colleges. It also borders the neighbouring suburbs of Wilton and Glasheen.
Though it is sometimes suggested that the name of the area derives from an early 18th-century bishop who built his country residence there, the name can be reputedly traced back further and found in sources dating to the 16th century.
