Stephens Barracks (Irish: Dún Mhic Stiofáin) is a military installation in Kilkenny, Ireland.

The barracks were built by James Switzer (then spelled Switser) on land provided by the Earl of Ormond as part of the response to the Irish Rebellion and completed between 1800 and 1803.

[2] On completion, sufficient material remained to construct “an asylum to cater for the needs of twenty women”, the present day Switser's Home in Kilkenny.

[3] Married quarters were provided to the east of the barracks in the 1850s, continuing in their original use until 1995 when they were handed over to Kilkenny Corporation for redevelopment as local authority housing.

[2] This period saw a considerable expansion of the number of personnel accommodated in both the barracks and other locations in the city.
