St. James Gaels, or Gaeil Naomh Shéamais in Irish, are a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in Dublin, Ireland.
Also sometimes known as St James Gaels / An Caislean, the club was formed in July 1994 as the result of the amalgamation of An Caisleán and Guinness GAA clubs. Both of these clubs had been in existence for several decades, but were struggling due to the increasing age profile within their respective base areas. Rather than allow two clubs to go out of existence, both sets of club officers agreed, following negotiation, to pool resources and to form one club serving Walkinstown and its surrounding areas.
