Harold's Cross (or Harolds Cross) is a suburb on the Southside of Dublin, Ireland. It is situated north of Terenure, west of Rathmines, east of Crumlin and directly south from the Grand Canal at Clanbrassil Street.
The name Harold's Cross is derived from the name given to a gallows, which had been placed where the current Harold's Cross park is situated. Harold's Cross was the execution ground for the city of Dublin during the 18th century and earlier.
