Howth (Irish: Binn Éadair) is an upmarket residental area in County Dublin, Ireland. Originally a small fishing village, it now forms one of the northern termini of the DART suburban rail system. One of its more famous residents is Gay Byrne. The village of Howth spans most of the northern part of Howth Head and is connected to nearby Sutton via a narrow strip of land. In the past, Howth could become isolated from the mainland during stormy weather and high tides.

There is a tiny island just off the coast of Howth named Ireland's Eye. It is currently a designated bird sanctuary.
