Kirkinner (Scottish Gaelic: Cille Chainneir, IPA: [ˈkʲʰiʎə ˈxaɲɪɾʲ]) is a village in the Machars, in the historical county of Wigtownshire in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.

On 21 December 1560 there was a Crown Confirmation of Feu Charter of 21 December 1560 by James Doddis prior, Allan Peter, Rolland Tailzeor, John Gibson and Thomas Wryt friars predicatores of the Convent of Wigton with consent of the chapter & of (Brother) John Greirsoun, Provincial of the Order, in augmentation of the Rental etc.

Her strange death on the night of her marriage forms the basis of the plot of Walter Scott's The Bride of Lammermoor.

[2][7] Just off Kirkinner's main street (A746 Whithorn road) stands the parish church of St Kennera (also Cinnera or Cannera).

The 19th-century church stands on the site of a 13th-14th-century foundation and perhaps an even earlier monastic cell where lived the 4th-century hermitess, Saint Kennera.

The flat carse lands by Bladnoch River were home to a Royal Air Force field of World War II.
