Kilkenny is a residential neighbourhood in north east Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Most of the development in the neighbourhood occurred during the 1960s and 1970s. It was named after Kilkenny in Ireland.[citation needed]

The neighbourhood is bounded on the west by 82 Street, on the east by 66 Street, on the north by 153 Avenue, and on the south by 144 Avenue. Londonderry Mall, a major shopping centre, is located to the south of the neighbourhood along 66 Street.

The community is represented by the Kilkenny Community League, established in 1970, which maintains a community hall and outdoor rink located at 72 Street and 149 Avenue.[8][9]
