Uí Maine was the name of a kingdom situated in south Connacht, consisting of all of County Galway east of Athenry, all of southern and central County Roscommon.
In prehistory it was believed to have spanned the River Shannon, and in the 8th century even briefly extended its dominion west to Galway Bay. It existed as an independent kingdom from prehistoric times, and as a subject kingdom up to the end of the medieval era.
The descendants of the last Ó Cellaigh Uí Maine are currently known as the O'Kelly of Gallagh and Tycooly, and are Counts of the Holy Roman Empire.
