Killearn (, from orig. Ceann Fhearann, "Head/End of (the) Land/Territory"; until the 15th century when Ceann was replaced by Cill; denoting the presence of a house of worship) – is a small village of approximately 1800 people in the Stirling council area of Scotland.
The village is approximately north of Glasgow, east of Loch Lomond, and sits on the northwest flank of the Campsie Fells, most predominantly in the shadow of the volcanic plug of Dumgoyne, overlooking the confluence of the Endrick Water and Blane Water.
