Kilculliheen (Irish: Cill Choilchín[l 1]) is a civil parish,[l 2] electoral division[l 3] and barony[l 1] in Ireland, on the north bank of the River Suir across from the centre of Waterford City.

The Parliamentary Gazetteer of 1846 states "as it lies on the left bank of the Suir, which, for the most part, divides co. Waterford from co. Kilkenny, most topographists mistakenly assign it to the barony of Ida, co.

In 1151 Dermot MacMurrough founded St Mary's Abbey de Bello Portu, an Augustinian convent, at the presumed site of Coilcín's church in what is now the townland of Abbeylands.

[6] It was a daughter house of the abbey of St Mary de Hoggis in Tallaght, and after the Norman invasion of Ireland was endowed by the future King John and David fitz Milo.

[7][8] At the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII, the abbey's lands were assigned to the Corporation of Waterford city, and six of its nuns granted compensation for the loss of its revenue.

[10] In the 1830s only a sliver of land from Waterford Bridge to Ferrybank Catholic church was within the municipal boundary; the rest of the parish constituted the northern "liberties" of the city.
