Aldborough House (sometimes Aldboro House) is a large Georgian house in Dublin, Ireland. Built as a private residence by 1795, the original structure included a chapel (since lost) and a theatre wing.
The house has been used for periods as a school, barracks and post office depot, before becoming vacant in the early 21st century. While vacant, the building was subject to vandalism and a fire, was noted by An Taisce as being in poor condition, and included in its 2021 list of 'Top 10 Most-at-Risk' buildings nationally.
