Toirdhealbhach Ó Conchobhair (died 1239) was a King of Connacht.
Toirdhealbhach (Turlough) was a son of Ruaidhrí Ó Conchobhair, King of Connacht.[1] A daughter of Toirdhealbhach, Bean Mhídhe, seems to have married Maol Mhuire an Sparáin, son of Murchadh Mac Suibhne.[2] The record of this union appears to be evidence that Toirdhealbhach utilised overseas military support from Clann Suibhne in his bid to claim the kingship of Connacht.[3] In 1225, Toirdhealbhach attained the kingship with the aid of Aodh Méith Ó Néill, and was inaugurated at Carnfree.[4] Three years later, in 1228, Toirdhealbhach was expelled from the kingship and replaced by his younger brother, Aodh, who was likewise inaugurated at Carnfree.[5]
