Ballinacourty, officially Ballynacourty,[1] is a rural area and townland on the southern coast of Ireland near Dungarvan, County Waterford.
A magnesite factory in the area was served by the last remaining part of the Waterford-Mallow railway line until the late 1980s.
Ballinacourty lighthouse, which stands at the entrance to Dungarvan Harbour, was built in 1858.
The local Gaelic Athletic Association club is Abbeyside/Ballinacourty GAA. The club plays both hurling and gaelic football and competes in both senior codes in the county.
