Templecraney is a medieval ecclesiastical site located in the Ards peninsula of County Down, Northern Ireland. The site comprises the remains of a church structure together with an associated graveyard and enclosure, typical of rural ecclesiastical settlements of medieval Ulster. The church itself appears to date to the medieval period, though the exact chronology of its construction and use requires further archaeological investigation. The surviving physical remains and the continued use of the graveyard into the post-medieval period indicate the site's enduring importance as a local place of worship and burial within the Ards community.
