North Brunswick Street is a street on the northside of Dublin, Ireland. It runs from the junction of Stoneybatter in the east to Church Street in the west and runs parallel to North King Street further south. It is located between the areas of Grangegorman to the north and Smithfield to the south. The street is named for the House of Brunswick, holders of the British and Irish crown from 1714 to 1901.[2]

It was formerly named Channel Row (Irish: Raidh na Canálach, meaning 'Canal row') which likely originated from a channel connected with the Bradogue River.[3]

It is not to be confused with Great Brunswick Street (later renamed Pearse Street) on the south side of the city.
