Ballyhackamore is a former village that is now a suburban area in east Belfast, County Down. It is within the townlands of Ballyhackamore, Ballycloghan and Strandtown, in the civil parishes of Knockbreda and Holywood.

It remained a distinct village until the late 19th century but gradually became a popular residential suburb of east Belfast. The area is within the council area of Belfast.
