Rush (meaning 'peninsula of the yew trees'), officially 'An Ros', is a small seaside commuter town in Fingal, Ireland. It was one of the few towns of the historic County Dublin. Rush lies on the Irish Sea coast, between Skerries and Lusk, and has a small harbour. It had a population at the 2011 census of 9,231.

Rush was once known as the "market garden of Ireland" for the large role market gardening played in its economy and culture. Nowadays, Rush is no longer a centre of national horticulture and has instead evolved into a growing commuter town on the northern fringes of the Greater Dublin Area.
