Entering the village|thumb Dunlavin () is a village in County Wicklow, Ireland, situated about south-west of Dublin. It is centred on the junction of the R412 and R756 regional roads. It was founded around the end of the 17th century and became a prominent town in the area for a time. The village is in a civil parish of the same name.
Rathsallagh House Golf & Country Club and the Wicklow National Park are both nearby. Dunlavin is also close to the Curragh and Punchestown racecourses in County Kildare. Dunlavin's unusually wide streets are characteristic of the village with the Market Square measuring 108 ft across at its widest point. It ranks among the widest village squares in Ireland. The village is known for its Market House, built c.1740, which stands in the centre of the Market Square. The Dunlavin Festival of Arts, which is held each year in late June, has been running since 1982.
