Orrery and Kilmore (Irish: Orbhraí agus An Choill Mhór) is a historical barony in north County Cork, Ireland.[1][2]

Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units.[3] They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.[4][5]
