Caílte (or Modern Irish Caoilte) mac Rónáin was a nephew of Fionn mac Cumhail and a member of the fianna in the Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology. He could run at remarkable speed and communicate with animals, and was a great storyteller. Some poems of the Fenian Cycle are attributed to Caílte.

Caílte is a central figure in the tale Acallam na Senórach (Colloquy of the Ancients), in which he and his cousin Oisín survive into Christian times and recount tales of the Fianna to a recently arrived Saint Patrick.
