Finola McDonnell, Lady Ó Domhnaill, also known by the Irish nickname Iníon Dubh (pronounced in both Scots Gaelic and Ulster Irish as 'In-neen Doo'), was queen consort of Tyrconnell (fl. 1570–1608). She was the daughter of James MacDonald, 6th Laird of Dunnyveg, and Lady Agnes Campbell, and the second wife of Sir Hugh O'Donnell, king of Tyrconnell, and the mother of, amongst others: Hugh Roe O'Donnell; Rory, 1st Earl of Tyrconnell; and Cathbarr O'Donnell. Finola's alias Iníon Dubh comes from the Irish for 'dark daughter', and has been anglicised as Ineen Dubh and Ineen Doo.
