Ballinderreen (Irish: Baile an Doirín, meaning 'townland of the little oak grove'),[2][3] also Ballindereen, is a village located on the N67 road between Kilcolgan and Kinvara in south County Galway, Ireland.

The Irish name of the village, Baile an Doirín, means "town of the little derry or little oakwood", suggesting the area may once have been more heavily forested with oak trees.

The parish of Ballinderreen covers a larger area, taking in part of the village of Kilcolgan and borders Clarinbridge, Kinvara and Ardrahan.

[2] The village of Ballinderreen has a pub, a primary school,[4] a church (Roman Catholic, St. Colman's), a creche, several sports pitches (mainly used for hurling and athletics), a nursing home,[5] and a community centre.

[8] A community of local musicians and singers known as Ceoltóirí an Doirín has formed a nonprofit organisation aimed at providing facilities for learning and playing traditional Irish music in Ballindereen.

[citation needed] Ballinderreen hurling club was founded in 1884, and has had relatively little success in terms of silverware at the older age level but did win the minor B in 1987.
