Moycullen (Irish: Maigh Cuilinn) is a Gaeltacht civil parish in the ancient barony of the same name. It is located in the western shore of Lough Corrib in County Galway, Ireland and is around 4 miles (6.4 km) north-west of the city of Galway on the road to Oughterard. The parish contains 27,294 statute acres. According to Lewis's survey of 1837, "The land is of very indifferent quality; and there is a large quantity of reclaimable waste and bog.". The parish gets its name from the church, now in ruins, that is situated around 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east of the village, in the townland of Moycullen itself.
Settlements in the parish include the village of the same name and the village of Spiddal.
