The Dublin Civic Trust is an architectural conservation and educational organisation founded in 1991 that works to identify, record, preserve and publicise Dublin's architectural heritage.^{[3] [4] [5]} The trust also comments and assists to a lesser extent with other buildings outside of Dublin.^{[6] [7] [8]}

The trust regularly appears in national print media lobbying on conservation and architectural heritage issues as well as contributing annual budget submissions.^[9]

An earlier Dublin civic group had been set up in December 1966 with similar aims to the trust although the trust is not its direct successor.^[10]
