Whiteabbey (Irish: An Mhainistir Fhionn[1]) is a townland (of 406 acres) in Newtownabbey, north of Belfast in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.[2]

The original village of Whiteabbey stood at the foot of the Three Mile Water, on the shore of Belfast Lough. In 1958, it and six other villages were joined to form the new district of Newtownabbey. Whiteabbey is part of the civil parish of Carnmoney and the historic barony of Belfast Lower.[1][2]
