Colmán of Lindisfarne was a 7th-century Irish bishop and abbot who served as the leader of Lindisfarne from 661 to 664. Born in western Ireland, he was educated on Iona before succeeding Aidan and Finan as bishop. Following the Synod of Whitby, which mandated the Roman method for calculating Easter, he resigned his position to return to Scotland. He eventually moved to Ireland, where he established a monastery on Inishbofin and later founded a community in Mayo.
