Bray Head (Irish: Ceann Bré) is a hill (241 m/790 ft) in North County Wicklow, Ireland, between the towns of Bray and Greystones. It forms part of the Wicklow Mountains and is a popular spot with hill-walkers.

The Dublin-Wicklow railway line runs outside Bray Head along the coast, sometimes travelling within feet of the cliffs. This line, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, is referred to as "Brunel's Folly", due to the ongoing maintenance costs associated with maintaining a cliff-face line. The line has had to be deviated on four occasions. It is approximately a 1 hr rail trip between Dublin and Bray Head
