Churchtown (Irish: Brugh Thuinne or Baile an Teampaill)[2] is a village, townland and civil parish in County Cork, Ireland.

According to the Journal of the Ivernian Society, Churchtown is a translation of Baile an Teampuill,[3] the former ecclesiastical name of the parish which had replaced the non-ecclesiastical Brú Thuinne – the ‘royal house of the pasture lands’.

Lynch states: ‘Bruhenny is a diminutive form of Bruach, border or edge, and it is named Brochoyn and Bruchhane in the Pipe Roll of Cloyne.’ Others have identified the parish as ‘the marshy part of Orrery in County Cork’, leading to speculation that part of the name may have been derived from the genitive of the common word Tonn, meaning 'low-lying or pasture land'.

Lord Egmont's agent, Sir Edward Tierney, commenced the rebuilding of Churchtown in 1825 and the work continued until its completion in 1849.

Recorded varieties of trees common to the parish include: apple, crab apple, ash, alder, beech, cedar, chestnut, cypress, elm, fir, hazel, holly, larch, lime, monkey puzzle, oak, pear, pine, spruce, sycamore, willow and yew.
