'''Buttevant''' ({{Irish place name|Cill na Mullach|church of the summits}}; {{langx|la|Ecclesia Tumulorum}}) is a medieval market town in [[County Cork]], Ireland.

The town was incorporated by [[charter]] of [[Edward III of England|Edward III]] in the 14th century. While there are reasons to suggest that the town may occupy the site of an earlier settlement of the Donegans, Carrig Donegan, the origins of the present town are distinctly [[Normans|Norman]], and closely connected with the settlement of the [[De Barry Family|Barrys]] from the 13th century onwards.<ref>[http://www.cork-guide.ie/buttevant/ Buttevant: from ''Cork-Guide'']</ref>  Here they built their principal stronghold in north Cork.

Buttevant is located on the [[N20 road (Ireland)|N20 road]] between [[Limerick]] and [[Cork (city)|Cork]] and the [[R522 road (Ireland)|R522]] [[Regional road (Ireland)|regional road]]. The Dublin&ndash;Cork [[rail transport in Ireland|railway line]] passes by the town, but there was a station (now closed) from which at the outbreak of the [[First World War]] in 1914, newly raised battalions of the [[Royal Munster Fusiliers]] and the [[The Royal Dublin Fusiliers|Royal Dublin Fusiliers]] who had completed their training at the local military barracks, set out for the [[Western Front (World War I)|Western Front]]. The town is in a [[townland]] and [[Civil parishes in Ireland|civil parish]] of the same name.<ref name=logainm>{{cite web | url = https://www.logainm.ie/en/707 | title = Cill na Mallach/Buttevant | work = [[Placenames Database of Ireland]] | access-date = 1 November 2024}}</ref> Buttevant is part of the [[Cork East (Dáil constituency)|Cork East]] Dáil constituency.
