Fivemiletown is a village and townland in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is 16 miles (26 km) east of Enniskillen and 26 miles (43 km) west-south-west of Dungannon, on the A4 Enniskillen-to-Dungannon road.[1]

Fivemiletown's population was 1,243 at the 2011 Census.[2] The village is most famous for its creamery, which was begun as a cooperative in 1898 by Hugh de Fellonburg Montgomery.
