Derryleckagh is an electoral ward in the Newry, Mourne and Down district of County Down, Northern Ireland. It occupies a largely rural and semi‑rural patch on the edges of the urban centre, with a mix of farmland, scattered housing and small local facilities; many residents commute into nearby towns for work while local life is often organised around community groups, churches and sporting clubs.
The area reflects the layered history of County Down, with its townland-based settlement pattern and the social changes of the 19th and 20th centuries evident in its landscape and buildings. As an electoral ward it plays a role in local politics through representation on the district council and is typical of the region in combining agricultural activity with close connections to the services and economic pull of Newry.
