Dublin Rathmines West was a short-lived parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas from 1977 to 1981. The constituency elected 3 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) to the Dáil, using the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV).
The constituency was created for the 1977 general election, under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1974, largely replacing the former Dublin South-Central constituency, as part of the redistribution of constituencies which attempted to secure the re-election of the outgoing Fine Gael–Labour Party government.
The constituency was abolished under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1980 for the 1981 general election. It was mostly replaced with the Dublin South-Central constituency although a smaller part went to Dublin South-East.
