Hugh O'Neill, 4th Baron Dungannon[1][2][3] (c. 1585 – 24 September 1609) was an Irish nobleman. He was the son and heir to Irish Gaelic lord Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone,[4] though he predeceased his father.
Dungannon accompanied his family and countrymen on the Flight of the Earls, leaving Ireland for mainland Europe. A few months after settling in Rome, Dungannon became violently ill after catching fever during a holiday to Ostia. He remained ill for a year before dying in Rome aged 24. He is buried alongside his father and two half-uncles in San Pietro in Montorio. His title was attainted on 28 October 1614.
