The Cenél Conaill is the name of the "kindred" or descendants of Conall Gulban, son of Niall Noígiallach, and who founded the kingdom of Tír Conaill (Tyrconnell) in the 5th century. It comprises much of what is now County Donegal, and several surrounding areas.

Conall Gulban was thus the ancestor of people such as Colum Cille; the Royal Dynastic House of O'Donnell of Tyrconnell, and its various members as well as the Dunkeld line of Scottish monarchs.

 Niall Noígiallach, died c. A.D.455.
