Ailesbury Road (Bóthar Aylesbury in Irish), is a tree-lined avenue in the affluent Dublin 4 area in Dublin, Ireland. It links Sydney Parade Station on Sydney Parade Avenue and the Church of the Sacred Heart at Anglesea Road, Donnybrook. Historically, many embassies and diplomatic residences have been located on the road, including the striking residence of the French Ambassador, the embassy of the People's Republic of China, and the Japanese embassy (before it relocated to the nearby Merrion Centre).
From Ailesbury Road, Shrewsbury Road forms a link to Merrion Road, though Ailesbury Road also meets Merrion Road near its eastern end. Other neighbouring street names include Ailesbury Drive, Ailesbury Park, Ailesbury Gardens and Ailesbury Grove.
Reflecting the high property price tags in the area, Ailesbury Road is the second-most expensive property on the Irish Monopoly board, being one of the two "purple" property squares.
