Ballymoyer is a parish in the barony of Upper Fews, County of Armagh and province of Ulster, three miles north east of Newtownhamilton.

Ballymoyer, the house and estate, and once the seat of Sir Walter Synnot (1742-1821), is a National Trust property open to the public.

The walls of the original church of St Luke's were erected in the reign of Charles I but remained unroofed, due to the murder of the appointed clergyman, until 1775, when Archbishop Robinson commissioned it to be finished. The present church was then built in 1822 with the help of a donation of £900 from the late Board of First Fruits. The nearby glebe-house was built in 1825 with a loan from the Board.
