Kilnaleck (Irish: Cill na Leice, meaning 'church of the flagstone') is a village in County Cavan, Ireland on the R154 regional road. Kilnaleck was once the centre of a mining boom when, in 1879, some local businessmen and a school headmaster decided to develop the coal that existed nearby. However, the coal was very deep and hard to extract and the mine was forced to close. The village is within the civil parish of Crosserlough.
