The Ship Street Barracks (Irish: Dún Shráid na Loinge) is a former military barracks to the rear (south west) of Dublin Castle in Dublin, Ireland facing on to Ship Street Great and Golden Lane.

The barracks are located close to the site of the former pool created by the River Poddle which gave Dublin its name from the Irish 'Dubh linn' meaning black pool.
