Kiltubrid or Kiltubbrid () is a civil parish in the barony of Leitrim, County Leitrim, Ireland. The villages of Keshcarrigan and Drumcong lie within the civil parish. History The name Kiltubrid derives from the Irish ''Cill Tiobraid'' meaning "church of the well". This may be a reference to an ancient church in Muintir Eolais.

Folklore relates that the well was infilled when the church was demolished, but sprang up a short distance away.
