Boneybefore is an electoral ward in the borough of Mid and East Antrim in Northern Ireland. It sits close to the town of Carrickfergus on the northern shore of Belfast Lough, combining suburban housing with pockets of countryside and coastal fringe; many residents commute into Belfast and nearby towns.

The ward has a quietly community‑oriented character, with local halls, clubs and small businesses serving day‑to‑day needs, and its history and economy are tied into the wider maritime and industrial story of the lough‑side settlements in historic County Antrim. Recreational use of the coastline and nearby rural lanes is a noticeable part of local life.
