Timahoe (Irish: Tigh Mochua: 'House of Mochua')[2] is a village in County Laois, Ireland, 12 kilometres (7 mi) south of Portlaoise on the R426 regional road.

The population of Timahoe in 2002 was 517, a 2.6% increase since 1996. It increased to 527 in 2006.[3] The 2021 population was recorded as 569. The population over the years has only very slightly increased.[4]

In 2008, a Timahoe Village Plan, to inform "any future developments which may occur within the development boundary of Timahoe", was drawn up to present to Laois County Council under the Laois County Development Plan 2006- 2012. This plan looked at aspects such as land use zoning, social infrastructure, community facilities and physical infrastructure. The objective of the plan was to provide a development plan for the village to service the area over a 6-year period and to enhance the character of the village.[3]
