Killinaspick (Coill an Easpaig, meaning "bishop's wood", in Irish) – sometimes also spelled Kilnaspic – is a small village in the south of County Kilkenny, Ireland.

Killinaspick Catholic church is one of three in the parish of Mooncoin, the other two being at Mooncoin itself and Carigeen. A tablet in the gable end of the current building, which stands south of the ancient site, states that it was built in 1866.

The main focus of the village is the crossroads, from which Tubrid Road leads to the village church and graveyard by a picturesque bridge over a stream. The village used to have a local shop, run by the Aylward family, but this closed in the early 1980s.
