Tullahought (Irish: Tullacht dhocht, difficult hill) a small village in County Kilkenny, in Ireland. Tullahought is located in the South Western part of Kilkenny on the border with Tipperary.

Tullahought is named for the hill which one must drive or climb to reach the village. The landscape of Tullahought is dominated by steep hills. Kilmacoliver Hill is the prominent point (674 meters) in the area. There is a marked trail which starts just west of the village and leads to the top of Kilmacoliver Hill. On top of the hill, hikers are rewarded with a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside. An ancient rath resides on the top of Kilmacoliver Hill.

The old slate-quarries lie to the north. Today agriculture, primarily comprising cows, sheep and some horses is Tullahought's main economic activity.
