Colman of Templeshambo was a late 6th-century Irish saint who operated in the region of modern-day County Wexford. As the son of Fearamhla and Eochaidh Brec, he served as the Abbot of Templeshambo, a monastery located near the base of Mount Leinster. Although he is sometimes confused with the patron of Kilmacduagh, his specific ministry was centered near Enniscorthy. He is commemorated annually on October 27, according to the Martyrology of Donegal.
