Urlingford () is a town in County Kilkenny, Ireland. It is also a civil parish within the barony of Galmoy. The town is in the north west of the county, along the boundary with County Tipperary, 16 km north-east of Thurles.
==Access== The town lies on the R639. The M8 motorway runs just west of the town, from which both Urlingford and nearby Johnstown are accessed via Junction Four. Urlingford is a bus hub, with major operator JJ Kavanagh and Sons based there. Situated from Dublin and from Cork, Urlingford has long been a resting point for travellers halfway between the Republic of Ireland's two largest cities. As a result, until May 2012 the Bus Éireann Dublin to Cork bus service called here. It is now replaced by route 828 from Portlaoise which connects with express bus at Cashel and the 858 Portlaoise to Thurles service also serves the town.
