Ballynoe is a townland and suburb of Cobh on the Great Island in County Cork. It was extensively developed in the Celtic Tiger era.[1]

The R624 road runs alongside the channel connecting Lough Mahon to lower Cork Harbour and separating Great Island from Monkstown on the mainland. The cross-river car ferry from Monkstown docks on the R624 just north of Ballynoe.

A railway station at Ballynoe on the Cork–Cobh railway line was proposed in 1993 and included in the 1998 Cobh Action Area Plan, and is still awaited.
