Ballyporeen is a village in County Tipperary, Ireland. Located in the Galtee-Vee Valley with the Galtee Mountains to the north and the Knockmealdowns to the south. The village developed in the 19th century as an inn on the coach route between Cork and Dublin, and became significant due to its large large open air markets.

It is best known as the setting for Percy French's popular song Donegan's Daughter.

The village is also remembered (esp by those with vivid imaginations) as the birthplace of Ronald Reagan.
