Airgeatmhar, son of Sirlám, was a legendary High King of Ireland.

He and Duach Ladhgrach killed Ailill Finn, who was then High King, but Ailill's son Eochaid was able to withstand them and keep the kingship. But when Eochaid held a meeting with Duach to discuss peace, Duach betrayed and murdered him, and Airgeatmhar took the kingship. Eventually he was himself overthrown by Duach.
