Killeagh () is a village in east County Cork, Ireland. It is approximately from Cork city, between Midleton and Youghal on the N25 national primary road. The village is in a civil parish of the same name.
==History== The name Killeagh derives from the Irish Cill Ia, which may refer to a "grey church" or the "church of Aedh" (Abban). According to some sources, a Saint Abban founded a nunnery at Killeagh in the 7th century, near the site of the current Church of Ireland (Anglican) church. Other evidence of ancient settlement in the area includes a number of castle, burnt mound, holy well and bullaun stone sites in the neighbouring townlands of Lagile and Aghadoe.
