Magheralin is a small village and electoral ward in the borough of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon in Northern Ireland, occupying a pleasant riverside setting close to the county boundary between Armagh and Down. It sits beside the River Lagan and is within easy commuting distance of larger centres such as Craigavon, Lurgan and Banbridge, which shapes much of its contemporary character.
