Knockengorroch is a world music festival held annually among the Carsphairn Hills in Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. From its founding in 1998 until 2010 there were two annual festivals: the World Ceilidh Festival, usually held around the end of May; and the Hairth, held in mid-September. Since 2011, only the former has been held, with licensing for around 3,000 attendees.
