Mulhuddart (Irish: Mullach Eadrad, meaning 'the hill of the milking place') is an outer suburb situated 12 km (7.456 miles) north-west of Dublin, Ireland.

However a number of explanations are offered, the most likely being that the name came from the Irish Mullach Eadartha meaning "the hill of the milking place".

In ancient Ireland, cows were driven out onto upland pastures during the summer months and special places were designated for their milking.

"Buzzardstown" is so-called after the family of William Bossard and "Tyrrellstown" is named after a branch of the Tyrrells, who were created barons of Castleknock in 1173.

[citation needed] In May 2016, a centenary monument was unveiled at the main junction of Mulhuddart, to commemorate the executed leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising.

It is bordered by County Meath to the west and by the civil parishes of Ward to the north, Finglas to the east and Clonsilla to the south.

Mulhuddart village essentially comprises a main street, which was the old Navan Road, on which there is a petrol station, a few shops and cafés.
