Coláiste Bhríde is an Irish language college in Rann na Feirste, County Donegal. It was originally founded in 1912 in Omeath but Fr Lorcán Ó Muireadhaigh moved it to the Donegal Gaeltacht in August 1926.[1][2]

People to have visited or attended the college include Phil Coulter, Éamon de Valera, Bernadette Devlin McAliskey, Paul Brady, Pádraig MacNamee, Tomás Ó Fiaich and T. K. Whitaker.[1][3][4]

RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta aired a special programme about the college in May 2020, with the college breaking from 94 years of opening at its Donegal headquarters due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][4][5][6]
