The Local Government (Dublin) Act, 1993 was an act passed by the Oireachtas. It abolished the county of Dublin and awarded county status to Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown (Dún Laoghaire-Ráth an Dúin), South Dublin (Áth Cliath Theas) and Fingal (Fine Gall). While these counties are known as administrative counties or modern counties, they have all the powers and institutions of the traditional counties.

Section 9 Part 1(a) states that on the establishment day (1 January 1994) the previous county of Dublin "shall cease to exist."

Section 15 Part 2 dissolved the former Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown Corporation.
