Portglenone is a village, lying on the east bank of the River Bann in County Antrim. It is within the townland of Garvaghy, in the civil parish of Portglenone. The area is reputedly the site of a Norman castle built in 1197 by John de Courcy. A later castle was built by the English crown around 1572. The present village was laid out in the 17th century. Portglenone House was built around 1808 by the Church of Ireland Bishop Dr. Alexander, who demolished the castle. In 1948 Portglenone House became the basis for a Cistercian monastery. The village of Glenone lies a short distance across the Bann Bridge (1853) in County Londonderry. The village is within the council area of Mid and East Antrim.
