Toirdhealbhach Ó Briain (some sources Terence)[1] (died 1569) was a bishop in Ireland during the second half of the sixteenth century.[2]
Ó Briain was appointed Bishop of Killaloe on 25 June 1554[3] when they were temporarily reunited under Queen Mary I: in a letter of 12 October 1561, the papal legate Fr David Wolfe SJ described all the bishops in Munster as 'adherents of the Queen';[4]
