The O'Brien dynasty (; ; genitive ''Uí Bhriain'' ) was an Irish Clan and noble house of Munster, founded in the 10th century by Brian Boru of the Dál gCais (Dalcassians). After becoming King of Munster, through conquest he established himself as ''Ard Rí na hÉireann'' (High King of Ireland).

In total, four Ó Briains ruled in Munster, and two held the High Kingship of Ireland (with opposition).

During part of this period in the late 13th century they had a rivalry with the Norman de Clare house, disputing the throne of Thomond. The ...
