Kilmeadan or Kilmeaden (Irish: Cill Mhíodáin) is a village in County Waterford, Ireland. It is on the R680 regional road. The town is 36 km (22 mi) from Dungarvan and 8 km (5.0 mi) from Waterford. Kilmeadan Castle was a stronghold of the le Poer family in the fourteenth century. In the late thirteenth century, it was in the possession of Sir Walter de la Haye, a leading figure in the Irish Government from about 1270 to 1308. The castle was destroyed by Cromwellian forces c.1650. The lands of Kilmeadan were granted to the Ottrington family, and later passed by inheritance to the family of Viscount Doneraile.
