Kildorrery (Irish: Cill Dairbhre, meaning 'church of the oak-forest')[2] is a village in north County Cork, Ireland. It lies at the crossroads of the N73 road from Mallow to Mitchelstown and the R512 from Kilmallock to Fermoy. The village is in a townland and civil parish of the same name.[2] Kildorrery is part of the Cork East Dáil constituency.

The village, which sits on a hilltop plateau, overlooks the surrounding area.[3] To the east are the Galtee Mountains and Knockmealdown Mountains, with Slievenamon in the distance. To the north the Ballyhouras – the Limerick road is flanked by two mountains, Castlegale and Carrigeenamronety Hill (Carraigín na mBróinte). To the south, across the Blackwater Valley, are the Nagle mountains.[citation needed]
