Mulhuddart (Irish: Mullach Eadrad, meaning "the hill of the milking place") is a suburb situated 12 km (7.456 miles) north-west of Dublin city, Ireland. It is also a civil parish in the barony of Castleknock. The River Tolka passes near the village. Mulhuddart is also a parish in the Blanchardstown deanery of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin.
The N3 dual carriageway now by-passes the village. It is located near Blanchardstown, now also a suburb of Dublin. 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 are a petrol station, a few shops and cafés. The local school, Mulhuddart National School, was relocated to a building on the Powerstown Road and will shortly move to a new premises in Tyrellstown and be renamed St. Lukes. Though the village has been by-passed, an under-pass connects the main street to Blakestown. Mulhuddart includes the suburban localities of Ladyswell, and Manorfield, together with townlands such as Priesttown. Newer estates to the west of the village such as Swallowbrook and Pheasant's Run are within the townland of Mulhuddart.
Located on the outskirts of the village is the Damastown Industrial Estate, one of Dublin's largest industrial estates which includes a large IBM campus employing over 4,000 people. To the north is the village of Tyrrelstown, with a sizable modern housing development.
