}} Heatons is an Irish department store, established in 1946. The store specialises in men's, women's and children's clothing, homeware and sports goods. They have 54 stores around Ireland, 53 in the Republic of Ireland and one in the Northern Ireland town of Enniskillen. The Northern Ireland town of Downpatrick was the former home to a Heatons and Sports Direct store, as was Newtownabbey (now a Sports Direct). Heatons has an online store which delivers to homes and businesses on both sides of the border in Ireland.

Heatons briefly held a franchise for British Home Stores [1] and also co-located some shops with Iceland during their first venture into Ireland.

Heatons was acquired by Mike Ashley, the majority owner of the Sports Direct group, in 2016. Newer Heatons stores have been built with an attached Sports Direct store and existing Heatons stores are being upgraded to accommodate Sports Direct. Some Heatons stores have cloed to be replaced entirely by Sports Direct and a smaller "BrandMax" store selling some of what Heatons formerly sold.
