Seán Ó Catháin (fl. 1726) was an Irish scribe.
Little is known of Ó Catháin. He transcribed Trí Biorghaoithe an Bháis (by Seathrún Céitinn) and Beatha Chaitríona for Francis Óg son of Thomas Blake of Furbogh, County Galway in 1726.[1][2] This work is now in the British Library where it is labelled "Egerton MS 184". He also wrote a work (classified as manuscript reference "RIA 23 G 4") which contains history, genealogy and poetry, sometime between 1722 and 1729.[3] According to the historian Nollaig Ó Muraíle, Ó Catháin "was aged about sixty" when he "signed his name in [a] manuscript" on 14 June 1724.[3]
