Tailte Éireann ({{literal translation|Irish Lands}}) is a state agency in Ireland responsible for property registrations, property valuation and national mapping services. It was established on 1 March 2023 from a merger of the Property Registration Authority (PRA), the Valuation Office (VO) and Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSI).

In January 2018, the departmental responsibility relating to the Ordnance Survey Ireland, the Property Registration Authority, and the Valuation Office were transferred to the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government.{{cite ISB|year=2017|type=si|num=573|title=Ordnance Survey Ireland (Transfer of Departmental Administration and Ministerial Functions) Order 2017|date=12 December 2017|access-date=17 September 2020}}{{cite ISB|year=2017|type=si|num=574|title=Property Registration Authority (Transfer of Departmental Administration and Ministerial Functions) Order 2017|date=12 December 2017|access-date=17 September 2020}}{{cite ISB|year=2017|type=si|num=575|title=Valuation Office and Valuation Tribunal (Transfer of Departmental Administration and Ministerial Functions) Order 2017|date=12 December 2017|access-date=17 September 2020}} Under the Tailte Éireann Act 2022, these bodies were dissolved and their functions transferred to Tailte Éireann.{{cite ISB|title=Tailte Éireann Act 2022|year=2022|number=50|date=21 December 2022}}{{cite press release |title=New Tailte Éireann agency to provide streamlined access to land and geospatial services to public and government |url=https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/5543d-new-tailte-eireann-agency-to-provide-streamlined-access-to-land-and-geospatial-services-to-public-and-government/ |website=Government of Ireland |publisher=Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage |access-date=24 February 2023 |date=15 December 2022}}{{cite ISB|title=Tailte Éireann Act 2022 (Commencement) Order 2023|type=si|year=2023|number=66|format=pdf|date=21 February 2023|signedby=Darragh O'Brien, Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage}}
