Kinawley or Kinawly (from Irish: Cill Náile, meaning "Náile’s church")[1] is a small village, townland (of 187 acres) and civil parish in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The village and townland are both in the civil parish of Kinawley (founded by Natalis of Ulster) in the historic barony of Clanawley, while other areas of the parish are in the baronies of Knockninny in County Fermanagh and Tullyhaw in County Cavan.[2] In the 2001 Census it had a population of 75 people.

Kinawley has been twinned with the German Village of Ammerndorf a municipality in the district of Fürth within Bavaria in Germany since 2008 following the county of Fermanagh's "Green and Green alike" campaign assigning each village and town land with a similar counterpart to follow the example of an environmentally friendly living manner.
