Ballinagar (historically Bellanagar, from Irish: Béal Átha na gCarr)[2] is a village in County Offaly, Ireland. It lies on the R402 regional road, roughly midway between Daingean and Tullamore.
The Church of St. Joseph, built in 1837, serves as the Roman Catholic parish church in the village.[3] The local national school, also named St. Joseph's, originally opened in 1949 but moved to a new building in 2011/2012.[4] There is also a pub called Ned's bar.[5]
