Cork Prison (Irish: Príosún Chorcaí) is an Irish penal institution on Rathmore Road, Cork City, Ireland. It is a closed, medium security prison for males over 17 years of age. As of 2022, it had a bed capacity of 296 and the daily average number of resident inmates was 262. It is immediately adjacent to Collins Barracks and near the Glen area of the city. The current prison facility opened in 2016 as a €45m re-development, replacing a nearby 19th-century prison building. As of 2026, the site of the older prison building, which is closed to the public, is included in redevelopment plans to address prison overcrowding.
