Saint Fachanan (also known as Saint Fachtna), about whom little is known with certainty, is linked from early times by strong tradition with Kilfenora, where he founded a church or monastery in the sixth century.

He was a founder of the monastery of Rosscarbery (Ros Ailithir), County Cork. He died around 600. His monastery became the principal monastery of West Cork and later had a famous Scripture school.
