thumb|right|200px|Dromore Road, Gamblestown Gamblestown is a small village in County Down, Northern Ireland about a mile from Donaghcloney, on the Lurgan to Dromore road. It is situated in the Parish of Magheralin and the townland of Clogher. In the 2021 census it had a population of 141 people. It is situated to the southeast of the Craigavon Borough Council area.
The village is largely composed of residential development, a church hall and some retail warehousing, but is without other facilities. Historically, Gamblestown developed as a small rural settlement centered around a cluster of farm workers' cottages located along the Dromore Road. The village's growth has remained modest, with approximately 50 residential properties currently established in 2010. In the 1970s, the Gamblestown Park housing estate was constructed, marking the first significant expansion of the settlement. Subsequent development has primarily consisted of individual dwellings built along the road frontages.
