Prendeville (also spelled Prenderville or Prendiville) is a surname of Irish origins. The name derives ultimately from the Flemish town of Brontegeest but migrated to Normandy some time before the 11th century. From there it moved to England with the Norman invasion of 1066 and onwards to Ireland with Strongbow's invasion. The name is found predominantly in County Kerry, Ireland although like many other surnames the Irish diaspora has led to it being spread around the world.

Notable individuals with the name include:

  • Antonio Valli Prendeville, leader of New Zealand's largest trade union (coal miners) for 30+ years
  • Andrew Prendeville, American indy racing driver
  • Colin Prenderville, Gaelic footballer
  • Kieran Prendiville, television script writer, best known for the series Ballykissangel (brother of Paddy Prendiville)
  • Neil Prendeville, presenter on the radio station Red FM in Cork
  • Paddy Prenderville, editor of The Phoenix, Irish satirical magazine
  • Redmond Prendiville, Catholic archbishop of Perth
  • Walter Prendiville, Consultant Obstetrician involved in medical peer review of Neary case and brother of Kieran and Paddy.
