Tighearnach ua Cleirigh

Tighearnach ua Cleirigh (died 916) was King of Uí Fiachrach Aidhne.

His appellation was therefore not a surname, merely denoting he was the grandson of Cleireach. However, his descendants adopted the surname Ó Cléirigh, and all subsequent bearers of the name are believed to descend from him. Notables include:
