Sandymount () is a coastal suburb in the Dublin 4 district on the Southside of Dublin in Ireland.
==Etymology== thumb|left|Bilingual welcome sign An early name for the area was Scal'd Hill or Scald Hill. During the 18th century, there was a village called Brickfield Town on the site of Sandymount Green; this took its name from Lord Merrion's brickfields, which stretched from here to Merrion at the time. The Irish name Dumhach Thrá is more recent than the one in English and approximately translates as sandy ground or sand dune of a beach.
