The Corrymeela Community in Ballycastle on the north coast of Northern Ireland is a Christian peace-building centre.

The centre aims to provide a place where young people and others from a divided society can meet and get to know each other, as a first step to healing divisions and as a stepping stone towards reconciliation. The community was founded in 1965 by a Presbyterian pastor and former World War II prisoner of war, the Reverend Ray Davey. Davey was captured in North Africa by German troops and taken to Dresden where he witnessed the Allied bombing of Germany.

In 1997 the community was awarded the Niwano Peace Prize.

'Corrymeela' means 'Hill of Harmony'.
