Kilmacanogue (Irish place name|Cill Mocheanóg|Mocheanog's Church) is a small village in North County Wicklow, Ireland.

The village lies on the junction of the R755 to Roundwood and the N11, 5 km (3 miles) south of Bray. Nestled between the Big and Little Sugarloaf Mountains, it is in one of the most scenic parts of the county, in the northeastern foothills of the Wicklow Mountains, near the Glen of the Downs.

The village is named after Saint Mocheanog, a companion of Saint Patrick, who, according to Irish legend, baptised the children of Lir just before their death. The village has few amenities, the local shop is in a petrol station franchise, yet it supports its own Primary School, Post Office, Church and Pub, the Glencormac Inn, known locally as Sweeneys.
