Gracehill is a village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It lies about 3 km from Ballymena and is in the townland of Ballykennedy . It is part of the Borough of Mid & East Antrim.
The town now known as Gracehill was originally a plot of land in the Ballyykennedy townland that was ruled by Lord O'Neil. Gracehill was established as a Moravian planned settlement in 1746 by Reverend John Cenwick. It is due to this strong historical background that the county council and the Gracehill Old School Trust have been rallying to have it recognized as Northern Ireland's second World Heritage Site for the last 18 years. If approved this would see the town ranked alongside The Giant's Causeway
