Ballyduff (Irish: Baile Dubh, meaning 'black village') is a village in County Waterford, Ireland.[1] It is also a parish in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Waterford and Lismore.

Historical maps mark the location of Ballyduff Castle in ruins. It was built in 1627 by the carpenter Andrew Tucker for the Earl of Cork. The Drew family gained possession of it later in the 17th century.[2]
