Finaghy (from Irish: an Fionnachadh, meaning "the white field") is an electoral ward in the Balmoral district of Belfast City Council, Northern Ireland. It is based on the townland of Ballyfinaghy (from Irish: Baile an Fhionnachaidh). There has been a small community in the area since the 17th century, and it has been involved in the production of linen, which was key to the Lagan Valley area at the time.
