Cullaville or Culloville (from Irish: Baile Mhic Cullach, meaning "MacCullach's townland") is a small village and townland near Crossmaglen in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. It is the southernmost settlement in the county and one of the southernmost in Northern Ireland, straddling the Irish border. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 400 people. The village is on a busy crossroads on the main Dundalk to Castleblaney road; three of the roads lead across the border and the fourth leads to Crossmaglen.

The village is home to Culloville Blues GAC. Founded in 1888, and as such, is one of the oldest clubs in Ireland. The club caters for both Gaelic football and Camogie at senior and underage level. The club has two playing fields. The main field is just south of the village, close to the Fane bridge, which marks the border with County Monaghan.

Cullaville's former railway station and post office are south of the River Fane, in County Monaghan.
