Kilmany (Scottish Gaelic: Cille Mheinidh) is a village and parish in Fife, Scotland. It is located on the A92 between Auchtermuchty and the Tay Road Bridge. In 2001 it had a population of 75.
The current name of the village derives from an older Scottish Gaelic name, but the meaning of that name is somewhat obscure. The first element, 'Kil', is from the Gaelic cill meaning a chapel or a monk's cell. The last element was -in, an old Gaelic suffix meaning 'the place of'. The middle element was an early saint's name, but which saint is not clear. St Maine, St Manna, and St Mannán have all been suggested. Taken together, the old Gaelic name would have meant 'The Site of the Church of Maine, Manna, or Mannán'.
