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 surrounding streets which were built on or beside the site include Linenhall Street, Linenhall Parade and Linenhall Terrace as well as Yarnhall Street.
