Ardigon House is a Georgian country house in the townland of Ardigon, Civil Parish Killyleagh, Barony Dufferin, County Down, Northern Ireland, about two miles west of Killyleagh. The Irish name of the townland is Ard an Ghabhann, "Height of the Smith".
Mark Bence-Jones called it a solid Georgian block of the Heron family (Irish Family Records). The printed description hardly goes further: a compact neoclassical house of the middle Ulster landed gentry, not a show park. It is not a State Care monument and not a public garden; the house remains private.
The surrounding townland is rural farmland of about 485 acres. Nearby Killyleagh is dominated by Hamilton Castle; Ardigon belongs to the quieter circle of parish houses west of the Lough shore.
