Ballymoney Area B
{{Short description|District electoral areas in Ballymoney, Northern Ireland}}
Ballymoney Area B was one of the three district electoral areas in Ballymoney, Northern Ireland which existed from 1973 to 1985. The district elected eight members to Ballymoney Borough Council, and formed part of the North Antrim constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1973 local elections, and contained the wards of Ballyhoe and Corkey, Benvardin, Castlequarter, Clogh Mills, Derrick, Dunloy, Kilraghts and Stranocum. It was abolished for the 1985 local elections and replaced by the Bann Valley DEA and the Bushvale DEA.
