Ballyclare (irsk: Bealach Cláir, «slettens pass»)[2][3] er en liten by i elvdalen til Six Mile Water i grevskapet Antrim i Nord-Irland. I henhold til folketellingen i 2021 har byen en befolkning på 9 953 innbyggere.[1]

Stedets historie går tilbake minst 5000 år, og det har vært mange forskjellige folkegrupper der. Etter kelterne kom først norrøne nordboere som vikinger, og deretter normannere som erobrere. Til slutt ble byen grunnlagt av innvandringen av skotter under bosetningen i Ulster.

Mange innbyggere emigrerte til Amerika, og blant deres etterkommere finner man Mark Twain,[4] Sam Houston og general Alexander Macomb.
