New Abbey (Scottish Gaelic: An Abaid Ùr) is a village in the historical county of Kirkcudbrightshire in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.

[1] The summit of the prominent hill Criffel is 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to the south.

[1] The monks named the abbey dulce cor ("sweet heart").

[2] Loch Kindar has a crannog and the village has the remains of Kirk Kindar (this was the parish church until just after 1633 when it was transferred to the refectory of the suppressed Sweetheart Abbey) on an island located just outside the village.

A Roman Catholic church, St Mary's, designed by the New Abbey born architect Walter Newall, closed in 2013.
