Ahiohill (Irish: Achadh Eochaille, meaning 'field of the yew')[1] is a small village in County Cork, Ireland. The historical spelling for the area, Aghyohil, is reflected in the names of two local townlands, Aghyohil Beg and Aghyohil More.[1][2] As of the 2011 census, Aghyohil Beg was home to 29 people and Aghyohil More had a population of 76.[3]

The village of Ahiohill lies between the towns of Bandon, Clonakilty and Ballineen/Enniskean. Ahiohill has one pub, "The Four Winds", and is home to Oliver Plunkett's GAA. The local national (primary) school, Ahiohill National School,[4] had an enrollment of 74 pupils as of 2024.[5] Ahiohill's Catholic church, the Church of the Assumption, dates from c. 1825 and is in the parish of Enniskeane & Desertserges in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cork and Ross.[6]
