Ballyferriter (Irish: Baile an Fheirtéaraigh [ˈbˠalʲ ənʲ ɛɾʲˈtʲeːɾˠiː], meaning 'Ferriter's townland', or an B[h]uailtín) is a Gaeltacht village in County Kerry, Ireland. It is in the west of the Corca Dhuibhne (Dingle) peninsula and according to the 2002 census, about 75% of the town's population speak the Irish language on a daily basis. The village is named after the Norman-Irish Feiritéar family who settled in Ard na Caithne in the late medieval period. The last Chief of the Name was the seventeenth-century Bard and leader Piaras Feiritéar who was executed. The older Irish name for the village An B[h]uailtín ("the little dairy place") is still used locally.
