Stickens is a townland in the Roman Catholic parish of Caragh in County Kildare, Ireland. It is part of the Donore Electoral Division.

Stickens is located a quarter of a mile past the village of Caragh when travelling north-west on the R409. The townland is situated to the left of the road, and is accessed by a cul de sac which is entered onto by taking the first left turn having travelled past the church in Caragh village.

On some historical records the spelling "Stickins" appears; however, this version is infrequently used. There is debate regarding the origin of the name of the townland. One possible source is the old English word "stoc" which means wooden defence.
