Donore Harriers is an athletics club founded in 1893. It is located in Chapelizod, Dublin.

Originally based in South Circular Road and then Islandbridge, the club moved to a modern clubhouse opposite the Chapelizod Gate to the Phoenix Park in 1993.

A new 300m polyurethane running track and athletics field was built on the club grounds in the autumn of 2007.
