Kilcoole () is a town in County Wicklow, Ireland. It is south of Greystones, north of Wicklow, and about south of Dublin. The town is in a townland and civil parish of the same name. Kilcoole was used as a filming location for the Irish television series Glenroe, which ran through the 1980s and 1990s.
The town has a large industrial estate to the south. An area of marshland runs along the coast from Kilcoole south to Wicklow town, called the Murragh. This area is home to many endangered species of plants and animals. The nearby beach is the summertime home of the little tern, one of the few places in Ireland where these birds nest. Within Kilcoole, is an area of flora known as the Rock which is a huge rock/hill that predates the Cambrian Period.
