Ballygunner (ga|Baile Gunnair),[1] is a civil parish in County Waterford, Ireland. It lies on the southern outskirts of Waterford city.
The placename is derived, in part, from the Old Norse masculine personal name Gunnarr.[2]
Ballygunner contains several townlands: Ballygunner Mhór, Knockboy, Ballinakill, Grantstown, Williamstown and Ballinamuncha.
Main facilities in the parish are the local hurling club Ballygunner GAA, the adjacent St. Mary's National School and the 19th/29th Waterford St Mary's Ballygunner Scout Group.[3]
