Muireann Ní Bhrolcháin (15 May 1955 – 14 April 2015) was an Irish academic and activist.

A native of Salthill, Galway City, Ní Bhrolcháin was a historian who researched early Irish literature, history, and genealogy, with a particular interest in Gaelic women. Her father, Cillian Ó Brolcháin (1905-1976), was professor of physics at UCG (now National University of Ireland, Galway). Her mother was domestic science teacher Mairéad Coughlan of Macroom, County Cork.

Her funeral service was attended by, among others, by President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins. She was survived by her partner and two daughters.
