Ballybride is a small townland located 1 mile North West of Roscommon town, the capital town of County Roscommon, in the West of Ireland. It consists of approximately 450 acres with approximately 25 houses. It is in the Civil Parish of Roscommon and the Barony of Ballintober South.

Ballybride gets its name from the Irish term 'Baile na Bríde', which is the Irish for the 'town of Brigid'. St Brigid's Well is on the Western side of the townland (See the Maps section for further details). St Brigid is one of Ireland's most famous Saints and her Holy Day is celebrated on the 1st of February each year.
