Mike Cottingham (fl. 1930) was a contributor to the Irish Folklore Commission.
Cottingham was a native of Raheen, Caherlistrane, and was a notable contributor during the early years of the Irish Folklore Commission. The local pronunciation of his surname was Cotnum. An ancestor of Cottingham had arrived in the area [where?] during the 17th century [citation needed], sent by one of the Stuart kings concerned about the dwindling timber supply from Ireland. Some of Cottingham's work was later published in local journals and local history books.
