Pembroke is a former local government area within County Dublin that was adjoining the city of Dublin, Ireland. It was formed as a township for local government purposes by a private act of Parliament in 1863. The township took its name from the fact that most of the area was part of the estate of the Earl of Pembroke. It was governed by town commissioners until 1899 when it became an urban district. In 1930 Pembroke was absorbed by the City and County Borough of Dublin.
