Ballymun (Irish: Baile Munna) is an outer suburb of Dublin, Ireland, at the northern edge of the Northside, the development of which began in the 1960s to accommodate a housing crisis in inner city areas of Dublin.
The area became well known for its high-rise tower blocks and flat complexes.
It has several sub-districts such as Sillogue and Poppintree, and is in close proximity to Dublin Airport.

In 1997, a regeneration plan was announced, which led to demolition of the flats and their replacement by new low-rise housing and some civic amenities, but also saw the loss of most of the area's shops.
 The regeneration had cost about one billion euro as of 2016.
