Artane, sometimes spelt Artaine (Irish: Ard Aidhin),[1] historically Tartaine[2] is a northside suburb of Dublin city, Ireland.

[3] Neighbouring districts include Kilmore West, Coolock, Beaumont, Killester, Raheny and Clontarf; to the south is a small locality, Harmonstown, straddling the Raheny-Artane border.

Artaine, now usually Artane, has a recorded history spanning over 900 years, but for much of that time was a quiet rural area.

The parish, anciently called "Tartaine," for centuries formed part of the estate of the Hollywood family, and the castle of Artane likewise belonged to that of the Donnellans.

"[2] Artane Castle is recorded from about 1360 when Robert de Holywood, Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer and founder of the Hollywood family, purchased it.

Artane Cottages Lower and Upper, built circa 1900, on the Malahide Road, are in the townland of Killester North.

When brought before Silken Thomas, he implored the Earl to spare his life, but the young lord turned away with contempt, saying "Beir uaim an bodach" ("take the fellow away").

Artane Castle was used as a garrison during the 1641 Rebellion for a small army under the command of Luke Netterville of Corballis.

The army raided two vessels at Clontarf led by the Commander of the Garrison of Dublin, Sir Charles Coote.

The site of the disaster is today a business park which houses (amongst other things) a pub, opposite Artane Castle Shopping Centre.

[20] Artane is a parish in the Fingal South East deanery of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin.

[21][22] The Serbian Orthodox Church Parish of Saint George uses Artane's Oratory of the Resurrection, Kilmore Road, for its services.

[23] Designed by the architect Liam McCormick the oratory contains stained glass windows by the artist Ruth Brandt.
