Lower Ballinderry is a small village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, about 27 km south west of Belfast and 12 km to the west of Lisburn. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 441 people. It is situated in the Lisburn City Council area.

The village lies on the eastern shore of Lough Neagh, with the Glenavy Road running through the centre. It is situated on gently undulating land with an open aspect to the east, west and south. It is sited on a crossroads that linked the medieval church site of Aghagallon (Ballinderry Old Graveyard), and later to the Plantation site of Portmore Castle. The village has at its core Ballinderry Moravian Church, a listed building which along with other listed structures forms a distinct core to the settlement around the crossroads. It has a pre-eminently 18th century character, visible in buildings, in form and layout, and in the lime tree plantings.

Lower Ballinderry is a local service centre, with facilities including, Ballinderry Moravian Church, Lower Ballinderry Primary School and a public house. There is an Ulsterbus service between Lower Ballinderry and Lisburn.
