Ballylifford (from Irish Baile Leithearr 'townland of the short turn') is a townland in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.[1] It is within the civil parish of Ballinderry, on the western shores of Lough Neagh, and is part of Mid-Ulster District. Many of the houses in the area have been built along Ballinderry Bridge Road.

A notable person from the parish is IRA Brigadier-Commandant Sean Larkin, who fought on the anti-Treaty side in the Irish Civil War and was one of those executed at Drumboe Castle on 14 March 1923 by firing squad, ordered by the Free State Government.
