Éighneachán (also Éineachán) Ó hAnnluain[1] (1933 — 14 December 1994) was an Irish Sinn Féin politician. He was elected as a Sinn Féin Teachta Dála (TD) at the 1957 general election for the Monaghan constituency.[2] He was one of four Sinn Féin TDs elected in that election, the others being Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, John Joe McGirl and John Joe Rice. None of the four took their seats as Sinn Féin ran on an abstentionist ticket.

In 1960, he was jailed for one month in Mountjoy Prison after refusing to pay a fine collection money for republican prisoners' dependants without a permit.[3]

He did not contest the 1961 general election.[4]

Ó hAnnluain died on 14 December 1994, aged 61, in Monaghan.[5][6]

His brother Fergal O'Hanlon was a member of the Irish Republican Army. His sister Pádraigín Uí Mhurchadha was a Monaghan town councillor for Sinn Féin from 1999 to 2012.[7]
