Laughanstown ({{langx|ga|Baile an Locháin}}) is a stop on the green line of the Luas light-rail tram system in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, County Dublin, Ireland. The stop provides access to the nearby suburb of Cabinteely.{{Cite web|url=https://luas.ie/laughanstwon.html|title=Laughanstown|website=Luas}}
History
The stop opened in 2010 as a stop on the extension of the Green Line south from Sandyford to Brides Glen.{{Cite web|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/new-luas-line-extension-opens-1.865734|title=New Luas extension opens|website=Irish Times}} It was intended to serve a new suburb being developed during the Celtic Tiger. A lack of subsequent development in the vicinity resulted in Laughanstown being the least used stop on the Luas Network. As of 2022, the land around the stop is again under development and new roads have been constructed close to the stop.
