Killincarrig () is a village between Greystones and Delgany in North County Wicklow. It lies at the crossroads (now a mini-roundabout) of the R762 and the R761 roads. Like neighbouring Delgany it has been steadily built up over the past 40 years and now forms part of the continuous urban area of Greystones.
== History == Killincarrig predates Greystones village. Some of its historical sites are the 16th-century ruins of an Elizabethan manor House called Killincarrig Castle, and an 18th-century Flour Mill. Killincarrig had one of Ireland’s oldest Cherry Orchards which had 200 trees. The town also had a brewery at around 1815 owned by the Jones family.
