Glenkeen or Glankeen is a civil parish in County Tipperary, Ireland. It is one of seven civil parishes in the barony of Kilnamanagh Upper.
The former Church of Ireland parish of Glenkeen, which was co-extensive with the civil parish, was in the diocese of Cashel (which is now part of the diocese of Cashel and Ossory) and its glebe house was in the townland of Glenkeen.
This civil parish is unusual in that, when the parish structure of the Catholic church was re-established, the resultant ecclesiastical parish, that of Borrisoleigh and Ileigh (which is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly), was (and is) co-extensive with the civil parish.
The town of Borrisoleigh is located in the parish, which encompasses 14,215 statute acres and is divided into 78 townlands:

Glenkeen is a townland in the civil parish of the same name in County Tipperary.
The glebe house for the Church of Ireland parish of Glenkeen was located in this townland and had a glebe of 11 acres. The glebe house was built in 1785, a few years after the construction of a Church of Ireland parish church in the nearby town of Borrisoleigh. After this church was closed, the glebe house was sold in 1870 to a Martin Ryan, an ancestor of the present-day owners.
