Cú Chonnacht Ó Fialáin

Cú Chonnacht Ó Fialáin (fl. before 1480) was a Gaelic Irish poet.

Ó Fialáin was a member of a family associated with Boho, County Fermanagh (see Bhotha Mhuintir Uí Fhialáin). John Ó Fialáin is stated in the Annals of Ulster as being the professor in poetry for the sons of Phillip Mág Uidhir upon his death in 1483.

Cú Chonnacht is primerly known by his poem, Beith ré dán dlighidh ollam, a petition to Tomás Óg Mág Uidhir, who died in 1480. It was written in the Book of O'Conor Don in Amsterdam in 1632, and published in 2010.
