St Ailbe's Church is a Catholic church in Emly County Tipperary, Ireland, dedicated to Ailbe of Emly (d. 529).[1] Built in the 1880s, it replaced an 1809 church.[2] The sandstone font at the entrance is believed to be medieval, and the nearby graveyard features St Ailbe's Cross, reputedly the saint's tombstone.[2]
