Killinaspick is a small village in the south of County Kilkenny. Its name is also sometimes written Killinaspic, Killnaspic or Kilnaspic.
The village's Roman Catholic church stands on the slope of the Walsh hills overlooking the parish. It was built in the mid-19th century. A tablet in the gable end of the current building, which stands south of the ancient site, states that it was built in 1866. Killinaspick church replaced the old church and graveyard in the adjoining hamlet called Tubrid.
The main focus of the village is the crossroads, from which Tubrid Road leads to the village church and graveyard by a bridge over a stream. A missionary stone and Millennium plaque is located near the bridge.
The village used to have a single local shop, but this closed in the early 1980s.
