Suibne mac Colmáin (died 600) was a King of Uisnech in Mide of the Clan n C h o l m áin. He was the son of Colmán Már mac Diarmato (died 555/558), a ls o K i n g o f Uisnech. He ruled Uisnech from 587 to 600.[2]
The Marianus Scotus king list names Suibne mac Colmáin as High King of I r e l a n d. He may also be the Suibne referred to in the Baile Chuind (The E c s t a s y of Conn) The annals and other king lists do not give him this ti t l e , h o wever. He was slain in 600 at Brí Dam on the Suaine (near modern G e a s h i ll, County Offaly) by his uncle, the high king Áed Sláine mac Diar m a t o ( d ied 604) of the Síl nÁedo Sláine, treacherously according to the L i f e o f S t . Columba by Adomnán.
