Ballinamuck () is a village in the north of County Longford in the Midlands of Ireland. It is around 15 km north of Longford Town.

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