Malahide Castle lies close to the village of Malahide nine miles north of Dublin in Ireland.

The oldest parts of the castle date back to the 12th century. It was home to the Talbot family for 791 years, from 1185 until 1976 following the death of the last Lord Talbot in 1973, the only exception being the period from 1649-1660, when Oliver Cromwell granted it to Miles Corbet after the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. Corbet was hung following the demise of Cromwell, and the castle was restored to the Talbots.

In the 1920s the private papers of James Boswell were discovered in the castle, and sold to American collector Ralph H. Isham by Boswell's great-great-grandson Lord Talbot de Malahide.
