Kilnamartyra (Irish: Cill na Martra [ˌciːl̠ʲ n̪ˠə ˈmˠaɾˠt̪ˠəɾˠə], meaning church of the martyr or church of the relic),[1] also Kilnamartery, is a village and civil parish in County Cork, Ireland. It is located around half-way between Killarney and Macroom.[2] The parish is a kilometre from the L3402 local road which joins the N22 road, three kilometres away.
Historically its townlands were part of the barony of Muskerry West.[3] The local national school is called Scoil Lachtain Naofa. It is a gaelscoil and is named after Saint Lachtain, the patron saint of Cill na Martra.[4] Other amenities in the village include a GAA pitch and two pubs.
