Gracehill is a village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It lies about 1.9 miles from Ballymena and is in the townland of Ballykennedy (from Irish: Baile Uí Chinnéide). It is part of the Borough of Mid & East Antrim.
The village is unique in Ireland as a Moravian planned settlement. The name Gracehill reflects the religious aspirations of the founders. There were also similarly named settlements in other countries, for example Gracehill in the United States.
Gracehill was granted UNESCO World Heritage site status in 2024.
