John O'Cullenan, S.T.D. (Irish: Eóin Ó Cuileannáin; c. 1583–1661) was an Irish Roman Catholic prelate who served as the Bishop of Raphoe from 1625 to 1661.
He was appointed Vicar Apostolic of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Raphoe by papal brief on 1 December [O.S. 21 November] 1621. Four years later, he was appointed Bishop of Raphoe on 9 June [O.S. 30 May] 1625, but was not consecrated until 1629.
