'''Killynumber''' ({{IPA|en|ˌkʲïliˈnӧmər|label=locally|generic=yes}}, {{etymology|ga|Cúil an Umair|recess of the trough or hollow}}<ref name="IPA"/>) is a [townland](/source/townland) lying within the [civil parish](/source/Civil_parishes_in_Ireland) of [Kilcronaghan](/source/Kilcronaghan), [County Londonderry](/source/County_Londonderry), [Northern Ireland](/source/Northern_Ireland). It lies in the south-east with the civil parish of [Desertmartin](/source/Desertmartin_(civil_parish)), and it is bounded by the townlands of [Annagh & Moneysterlin](/source/Annagh_%26_Moneysterlin), [Coolsaragh](/source/Coolsaragh), [Drumsamney](/source/Drumsamney), [Gortamney](/source/Gortamney), and [Killytoney](/source/Killytoney). It was apportioned to the [Drapers](/source/Worshipful_Company_of_Drapers) company as well as freeholds.<ref name="Munn"/>

The townland was part of [Tobermore](/source/Tobermore) electoral ward of the former [Magherafelt District Council](/source/Magherafelt_District_Council), however in 1901 and 1926 it was part of Iniscarn [district electoral division](/source/district_electoral_division) as part of the [Draperstown](/source/Draperstown) dispensary (registrar's) district of [Magherafelt](/source/Magherafelt) [Rural District](/source/Rural_District).<ref name="HistPop1901"/><ref name="HistPop1926"/> It was also part of the historic [barony](/source/Barony_(geographic)) of [Loughinsholin](/source/Loughinsholin).<ref name="Munn"/>

==Etymology==
The townland of Killynumber is postulated as being derived from ''Cúil an Umair'' meaning "recess of the trough or hollow", with a noticeable hollow lying within the townland.<ref name="IPA"/>
