Conn Ruadh O'Neill (Irish: Conn Ruadh Ó Néill; c. 1602 – in/after 1622), also known as Conn na Creige ("Conn of the rock"), was an Irish noble of the seventeenth century.

He was a son of Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone. Conn was left behind during the Flight of the Earls. English authorities planned to re-educate Conn as a Protestant by paying for him to attend Eton College. Eventually Conn was imprisoned in the Tower of London, where he likely died.
