Adamstown (Irish: Baile Adaim) is a planned town and suburban development in County Dublin, Ireland. Located approximately 16 km from Dublin city centre, it is in the jurisdiction of South Dublin County Council. The first planned town to be developed in Ireland since Shannon Town in the 1980s, the development-in-progress is based on a 220 hectare site which is a designated Strategic Development Zone. This site lies south of the N4 road and Lucan, west of a River Liffey tributary, the Griffeen River, and north of the Grand Canal.
While no date has been set for the official granting of any long-term official status (as of 2022 the local authority described it as an "emerging new town"), development has been underway since 2005. As of 2015, perhaps 4,500 of a planned population of 25,000 were resident and by 2022 had reached approximately 10,000. As of 2020, the planned scale of development was approximately 9,000 dwellings, with supporting infrastructure including public transport links.
