The O'Brien Institute is a building complex off the Malahide Road, near Mount Temple Comprehensive School in Marino, Dublin, Ireland. Built in 1880–1883 as an orphan home and school, the purchase of the land, and building costs, were financed by a trust that was founded by the will of Bridget O'Brien in 1876. The last four boarders left in 1976, when the school, which was run by the Irish Christian Brothers, closed. The institute was bought by Dublin Corporation, and is currently primarily used by Dublin Fire Brigade as a training centre, while the educational trust continues within the Archdiocese of Dublin.
