Ballybrittas (Irish: Baile Briotáis) is a small village in the northeast of County Laois, Ireland situated on the R445 about 5 km SE of Monasterevin, County Kildare. Formerly on the N7 Dublin - Limerick road, the village is now bypassed by the M7 motorway.

Commercial outlets include a pub, a service station, a shop/post office and a number of small businesses.

The local schools and churches are nearby in Rath and Killenard, while two local Gaelic Athletic Association clubs, Courtwood and O'Dempseys are nearby.
