Ballycolman (Irish: Baile Uí Colmain ) is a townland of 588 acres in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, now part of Strabane. It is situated in the historic barony of Strabane Lower and the civil parish of Urney.
The name derives from the Irish: Baile Uí Colmain (Colman's town).
The population of the townland declined during the 19th century:
