Western suburb of Dublin, Ireland

Adamstown is a planned suburban development in western County Dublin, located circa 16 km from Dublin city centre, in the jurisdiction of South Dublin County Council. The first new town in Ireland since Shannon Town in the 1960s, the development in progress is based on a 220 hectare Strategic Development Zone site south of the N4 road and Lucan, west of Liffey tributary the Griffeen River and north of the Grand Canal. No date has been set for the official granting of any specific long term official status (as of 2020 the local authority terms it an "emerging new town") but development is underway since 2005 and as of 2015, perhaps 4,500 of a planned population of 25,000 were resident. As per the 2022 census, the population is just above 10,000. The planned scale of development is 9,000 to 10,000 dwellings, with aligned supporting infrastructure including public transport links.

Adamstown is beside the Dublin–Kildare railway line, and was provided with a new, privately funded railway station, with 5 platforms. The settlement is south of the N4 national primary route road. On 16 February 2006 the first houses went on the market, and the developer funded railway station opened on 10 April 2007. Further development launched in 2017. As of mid 2020, 2,613 homes had been built, and subject to delays due to the Covid pandemic, development of thousands more were expected to proceed, with 3,500 new dwellings already covered by some form of county council permission. The train station and three schools, a modest range of retail facilities, a community centre, and an all weather sports pitch were operating as of the same time. Existing in the broader vicinity is a Supervalu shopping centre on Newcastle Road, while a short distance further is Lucan village. Some distance away, off the N4, is Liffey Valley shopping centre. and from sixty nine students entering the school it had around 870 by 2015. and a cycling club. A new structure, Club Adamstown, was being put in place as of 2020 by the local council to offer sporting opportunities, including expanded cricketing, to local children.

In February 2009, Adamstown, the new neighbourhood being built on the west side of Dublin, won a "Sustainable Communities" award from the UK's Royal Town Planning Institute. It was the only non UK project to pick up a prize at the annual awards ceremony and was entered by South Dublin County Council and Chartridge, the developers (comprising Castlethorn Construction, Maplewood Homes and Tierra Construction). The award recognises that Adamstown has been properly planned and balances living accommodation with infrastructure, such as shops, cinema, train station, swimming pool, library, health centres, restaurants, schools, mixed places of worship and parks, among other facilities. Adamstown is Ireland's first Strategic Development Zone, which means that the construction of homes runs in tandem with such facilities. The judges praised the design and layout of Adamstown for its "modern vernacular" and said it would be a "model for development elsewhere".
