This is a list of professorships, other notable positions, and public lectures at the University of Dublin. The chairs in French (1776), German (1776), Irish (1840), English Literature (1867) and the precursor (1776) of the current Chair of Spanish (1926) are the oldest in the world in their respective subjects, as some others may be, or thereabouts - the Chair of Civil Engineering (1842) is the third oldest engineering professorship in the world (very soon after Paris and London).

  • This is a list of professorships, other notable positions, and public lectures at the University of Dublin. The chairs in French (1776), German (1776), Irish (1840), English Literature (1867) and the precursor (1776) of the current Chair of Spanish (1926) are the oldest in the world in their respective subjects, as some others may be, or thereabouts - the Chair of Civil Engineering (1842) is the third oldest engineering professorship in the world (very soon after Paris and London). Only professorships more than 50 years old are listed, as are some other notable historical positions (e.g. Donegall Lecturer in Mathematics (1668), now mostly an honorary, usually one-year, title for a distinguished visiting mathematician). Some old chairs transferred to other institutions (e.g. the four King's Professors of Medicine to The Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, which also previously appointed the professors) or were discontinued with changing circumstances, especially those beyond the ordinary (e.g. Chair of English Feudal Law).
