The Linenhall along with the adjacent Yarnhall was a large complex of Georgian buildings and streets associated with the linen and cloth trade in Dublin, Ireland which later gave its name to a surrounding area. It was also temporarily a barracks and as a result, was largely destroyed during the Easter Rising in 1916.
Today, streets built on or beside the site include Linenhall Street, Linenhall Parade, Linenhall Terrace, and Yarnhall Street. Other streets in the area were named for northern Irish towns related to the linen and flax industry, including Lurgan Street, Lisburn Street, and Coleraine Street.
