Manus O'Donnell (Irish: Maghnas Ó Domhnaill;[1] c. 1579 – October 1600) was an Irish nobleman and member of the O'Donnell dynasty.
Manus was born c. 1579,[2] the third son of Hugh McManus O'Donnell, Irish Gaelic Lord of Tyrconnell, and his second wife Iníon Dubh.[3][4] Manus had two older brothers, Hugh Roe and Rory, and a younger brother Cathbarr.[4] He also had several sisters – Nuala, Mary and Margaret.[5]
Manus was wounded by his loyalist cousin Niall Garve O'Donnell during the Battle of Lifford.[6][7][8][9] He was brought back to Donegal, where he died.[a] He was buried in Donegal Abbey.[3][10]

Notes
- ^ The 17th-century historian Lughaidh Ó Cléirigh states that Manus died on 22 October [O.S. 12 October] 1600, from injuries sustained in the Battle of Lifford.[10] Contemporary English sources state that the Battle of Lifford occurred on [O.S. 24 October], which makes Ó Cléirigh's date incorrect.[7]
