Cullen (Irish: Cuilleann) is a rural village in County Tipperary, Ireland.

[2] The village was traditionally believed to have taken its name from the holly (cuileann), although an Irish legend claimed that Fionn Mac Cumhail killed a hero named Cuileann, son of Morna at this site in the 3rd century AD.

[5][6] Cullen is home to two public houses (pubs), a cemetery and a Roman Catholic church.

[citation needed] In the 18th and 19th centuries many prehistoric items were found in the nearby Golden Bog of Cullen.

[9] Nicky English, the former Tipperary hurler and manager, was born and raised in Cullen, living in what was a small shop run by his parents.
