Knocklyon is a suburb of the city of Dublin, located in South Dublin, Ireland. Unlike many Dublin suburbs, Knocklyon was not developed around a village; rather it largely consists of modern housing, with a number of old cottages and farmhouses along Knocklyon Road attesting to the area's rural past.

Etymology

The area has been known historically in 14th-century scrolls as Cnoclín, literally 'flax mountain'.
