Seán Ó Catháin (fl. 1726) was an Irish scribe.
Little is known of Ó Catháin. He transcribed Trí Biorghaoithe an Bháis (by Seathrún Céitinn) and Beatha Chaitríona for Francis Óg son of Thomas Blake of Furbogh, County Galway in 1726. This work is now in the British Library where it is labelled "Egerton MS 184". He also wrote a work (classified as manuscript reference "RIA 23 G 4") which contains history, genealogy and poetry, sometime between 1722 and 1729. According to the historian Nollaig Ó Muraíle, Ó Catháin "was aged about sixty" when he "signed his name in manuscript" on 14 June 1724.<ref name="OMuraileP192"/>
