Dunmurry (; ) is a suburban town and townland near Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is south-west of Belfast city centre. Dunmurry is in the Collin electoral ward for the local government district of Belfast City Council.
==History== Until the end of the 18th century, Dunmurry was largely an agricultural area dominated by wealthy landowners. In 1817, work began on a new road from Belfast to Dublin through Finaghy and Dunmurry. This replaced the old turnpike road through Upper Malone and Drumbeg to Lambeg, which was linked to the town by Dunmurry Lane.
