Carlow ( ; ) is the county town of County Carlow, in the south-east of Ireland, from Dublin. At the 2022 census, it had a population of 27,351, the twelfth-largest urban centre in Ireland.

The River Barrow flows through the town and forms the historic boundary between counties Laois and Carlow. However, the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898 included the town entirely in County Carlow. The settlement of Carlow is thousands of years old and pre-dates written Irish history. The town has played a major role in Irish history, serving as the capital of the country in the 14th century. The town is in a townland and civil parish of the same name.
