Patrickswell, historically known as Toberpatrick (), is a small town in County Limerick, Ireland. It is primarily a commuter village for people working in Limerick, including the nearby industrial suburb of Raheen. The population was 848 at the 2022 census.
==Etymology== The name of the town refers to a holy well which is traditionally associated with Saint Patrick. Located on the main street, this well was previously capped by a pump - since removed. In the early 19th century, a rough statue of Saint Patrick was erected at the well.
