Kentstown () is a village in County Meath, Ireland. It is east of Navan, at the junction of the R153 and R150 roads. The village is in a townland and civil parish of the same name.
==History== There are two churches in Kentstown, the Roman Catholic Church of the Assumption (built in 1844 by the then parish priest Revd. J. Sheridan) and the Church of Ireland Saint Mary's (built in 1798 with funds from the local protestant Somerville family). The Somerville family mausoleum can be found at the back of the church. The ruins of a medieval church are located in Danestown Cemetery, just outside of Kentstown which is next to Danestown Fort.
