Collinstown (Irish: Baile na gCailleach) is a village in north County Westmeath, situated on the R395 regional road overlooking Lough Lene. It lies 18 km (11 mi) northeast of the county town of Mullingar and has a population of 700.

The Irish name of the village means ‘town of the veiled women’, owing to a convent once established on an island on nearby Lough Lene.
