Fearfeasa O'Mulconry (fl. 1636), was an Irish chronicler. He contributed to The Annals of the Four Masters.

Life

He belonged to a family of hereditary men of letters in Connacht, where he was born, probably at Cluainnahoidhche, near Lochnahoidhche, in the parish of Clooncraff, County Roscommon. He was one of the authors of the Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland and, with the three other chief writers, was included by John Colgan in the designation Annales Quatuor Magistrorum (Preface to Acta Sanctorum Hiberniæ, p. 7), which has become the popular name of the book.

Peter (fl. 1701), son of Fearfasa, was poet to the O'Róduighe, and lived in Leitrim.
