Seskinore or Seskanore () is a small village and townland in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is northeast of Fintona and southeast of Omagh. The village had a population of 358 in the 2021 census.
== Geography == The name Seskinore is derived from the Irish Seisceann Mhór, which means "big marsh/bog", and the area to the north on the way to Omagh is characterised by lowland raised bog. Pike's Province of Ulster (1909) described the area thus: "The country is undulating with bogs in parts which make hunting difficult".
