Colman mac Cathbaid is a sixth-century Irish saint who was an abbot and bishop of Kilroot (County Antrim), a minor see which was afterwards incorporated in the Diocese of Connor. He may have given his name to Kilmackevat (County Antrim).[1]

In the Life of Mac Nise in the Codex Salmanticensis, the young Colman is saved from death by Bishop Mac Nisse of Connor,[2] and instructed in the Holy Scriptures.

Colman was a disciple of St. Ailbe.[3] At the direction of Ailbe, Colmán founded a church on the northern shore of Lough Laoigh. According to Bishop Healy, Colmán of Kilroot was the uncle of Colmán of Dromore.[4]

Colman's feast has been kept on 16 October.[5][6]
