Paidin mac Lochlainn Ó Mailchonaire was an Irish poet who died in 1506.
Ó Mailchonaire was a respected poet, and a member of the Ó Mailchonaire bardic family from Síol Muiredaigh (now central north County Roscommon).

- Paidin Ua Mael-Conaire, unique choice of Ireland in poetry and in history, died of a fit, the night of Little Easter Monday.
The Annals of Lough Ce provide a little extra information:
