Blackrock Dolmen is a modern bronze sculpture made by the Irish artist Rowan Gillespie in 1987. It is placed on a traffic island in Blackrock, which is a suburb of Dublin.

Blackrock Dolmen consists of three slender figures holding up a large triangular capstone. The figures are made of cast bronze, while the capstone consists of resin bronze on fibreglass.

The bronze-casting foundry of Gillespie is not far away from Blackrock Dolmen.
