Edmondstown, whose name is sometimes spelled Edmundstown, is a village in County Dublin, in the south of the county on the R116 regional road, south of Ballyboden and north of Rockbrook, in the valley of the Owendoher River.

There is a golf course here, Edmondstown Golf Course, on the Edmondstown Road. In the 1950s, 27 sets of remains were discovered at the Golf Course when work uncovered an Early Bronze Age cemetery.[1]
