Knockiveagh was one of the three district electoral areas in Banbridge, Northern Ireland which existed from 1985 to 2014. The district elected five members to Banbridge District Council until 1993, and six members until 2014, and formed part of the Upper Bann constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections. Two of its wards came from Banbridge Area A and 3 Banbridge Area B, both of which had existed since 1973. It contained the wards of Bannside, Gilford, Katesbridge, Lawrencestown and Loughbrickland. For the 1993 local elections it gained an additional ward, Rathfriland, which was transferred from Newry and Mourne District Council. It was abolished for the 2014 local elections and largely moved into the Banbridge DEA.
