Dáibhídh Ó Duibhgeannáin (fl. 1651–1696), also known as Dáibhídh mac Matthew Glas Ó Duibhgeannáin or Dáibhídh Bacach ("lame David"), was a scribe, compiler and poet who was active between the years 1651 and 1696. In the earliest of his known works, Royal Irish Academy Ms. 24.P.9., he writes on page 238: "sguirim go ttrasada ar Loch Mesg dam a ttigh Thaidgh Oig Ui Fhlaibhertaigh 1 die Aprilis 1651, Dauid Duigenan qui scripsit/I stop now, and I on Loch Mask in the house of Tadhg Og O Flaherty, April 1st, 1651, David Duigenan who wrote this." A later entry specifies the place as Oileán Ruadh, or Red Island.
