Kiltegan (Irish: Cill Teagáin, meaning "Church of St. Teagáin") is a village in west County Wicklow, Ireland, on the R747 regional road close to the border with County Carlow.

The 19th century mansion Humewood House lies just outside of the village. The Roman Catholic St Patrick's Missionary Society, known as the Kiltegan Fathers, has its headquarters at High Park 2 km from the village.

Kiltegan won the Irish Tidy Towns Competition in 1973.
