Johnstown (Irish: Baile Eoin) is a small area of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Ireland. Once part of the grounds of Johnstown House, it is now primarily an estate of semi-detached houses and detached houses built during the 1960s by private developers and apartment blocks built in the last few years due to a heavy demand for housing.
