Kilmovee (Irish: Cill Mobhí, meaning 'Church of Mobhí') is a village and civil parish in County Mayo, Ireland. It is a mainly rural parish on the R325 road, midway between Kilkelly and Ballaghaderreen.

In March 2004, the Cois Tine Heritage Centre was opened and since then it has become a cultural centre for the people of the area.[1][2] In 2011, the Annual Seosamh Mac Gabhann Summer School was established in Kilmovee to honour the Irish language playwright and music teacher Seosamh Mac Gabhann, who lived and worked in Kilmovee for much of his life.[3][4]
