Shelburne (Irish: Síol Bhroin [ʃiːəl̪ˠ vˠɾˠɪnʲ]) is a historical barony in southwest County Wexford, Ireland.[1][2][3]

Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units.[4] They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.[5][6]
