Glenageary (Irish: Gleann na gCaorach, meaning 'Glen of the Sheep' [ˌɟlʲaːn̪ˠ n̪ˠə ˈɡeːɾˠə]) is an area on the Southside of Dublin, Ireland, within Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown. While it has no formal boundary, it is surrounded by the areas of Dalkey, Dún Laoghaire, Glasthule, Johnstown, Killiney and Sallynoggin.
On early 20th century maps, Glenageary and Sallynoggin are considered to be the same place and it was not until the building of local authority houses in the late 1940s and 1950s in the townlands of Honeypark and Thomastown by Dún Laoghaire Borough Corporation that a clear distinction between Sallynoggin and Glenageary was created.
The Roman Catholic Parish of Glasthule covers all of Glasthule and Sandycove together with Glenageary east of Upper Glenageary Road and south of Lower Glenageary Road. The Church of Ireland has a defined boundary for the Parish of Glenageary.
