Dub-Indrecht mac Cathail (died 768)[1] was a King of Connacht from the Uí Briúin branch of the Connachta. He was the son of Cathal mac Muiredaig Muillethan (died 735), a previous king.[2] He was of the Síl Cathail sept of the Ui Briun and ruled from 764 to 768.

In 766, Dub-Indrecht defeated the Conmhaícne Cúile Tuireadh at the Battle of Sruthair. His grandson, Fergus mac Fothaid (died 843), was a later king of Connacht.[3]
