Moneymore is a town in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, lying near Lough Neagh. It is now in the District of Cookstown. Its name comes from the Irish Muine Mór or Big Thicket. It was the main town of the Northern Ireland plantation by the Drapers' Company of the City of London, which also included nearby Draperstown.
The most notable building in the town is the seventeenth century Springhill, built and owned by the Lenox-Conyngham family but now in the ownership of the National Trust.
