Crookstown (Irish: An Baile Gallda, meaning town of the invader or foreigner) is a small village in the south of County Kildare, Ireland. It is on the former N9 road (now by-passed) where it meets the R415 regional road, about 75 km (47 mi) south of Dublin. It is a small village, with only a few hundred inhabitants but has a church, a primary school, a petrol station/rest area on the N9, restaurant and small hotel as well as a community centre/theatre.

It is only a kilometre from the larger neighbouring village of Ballitore and the two villages are almost merged.
