North Earl Street (Irish: Sráid an Iarla Thuaidh) is a short stretch of city-centre street located on Dublin's Northside and formerly a major shopping area. It runs from Marlborough Street in the west to O'Connell Street beside the Spire.
The street was first developed in the late 18th century. It was badly damaged, along with neighbouring streets, in the aftermath of the 1916 Easter Rising, but some buildings survived and others have been restored. It was pedestrianised in 1980.
