Ballygall (Irish: Baile na nGall, meaning Town of the Foreigners) is a locality within the northside suburbs of the city of Dublin, Ireland, settled by Vikings in the 11th century. It lies within the southern part of ancient Fingal, although the modern county of the same name has its southern boundary a bit further north. Ballygall lies between the villages of Finglas and Glasnevin, and the old parish, now large suburban district, of Ballymun.
