Fernisky is a townland in County Antrim, found to the south of Balleymena in the middle of the county.
The name of the townland is recorded as Ballyfugaske (and variants on that form) in a number of early 17th-century sources, but is written as Furnisky in 1669 and as Ferneskey in 1780. The accepted likely etymology is from the Gaelic Fearnaisce, meaning "place of alders".
Fernisky is one of nine townlands in the parish of Connor which before the Reformation belonged to nearby Kells Abbey.
