Ballinamuck (Irish: Béal Átha na Muc, meaning "mouth of the pig's ford") is a small village in north County Longford, Ireland.

It was the scene of the Battle of Ballinamuck, where a French army aiding the United Irishmen rebellion of 1798 was defeated. The prisoners were taken to St Johnstown - today's Ballinalee - where they were executed in what is known locally as Bullys Acre and buried there.
