Moybeg Kirley ([ˌmɔibeɡˈkʲïli], from Irish Maigh Bheag, meaning 'little plain' and Corrbahile meaning "prominent townland") is a townland lying within the civil parish of Kilcronaghan, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It lies in the north-west of the parish, with the Moyola River forming its northern boundary. It is bounded by the townlands of Drumconready, Drumcrow, Kirley, Moneyguiggy, and Moneyshanere. It was apportioned to the Drapers company.

The townland is currently part of Tobermore electoral ward of Magherafelt District Council, however in 1926 it was part of Carnamoney District Electoral Division as part of the Draperstown dispensary (registrar's) district of Magherafelt Rural District. It was also part of the historic barony of Loughinsholin.
