Bretha Déin Chécht

Bretha Déin Chécht (Old Irish for "Judgments of Dian Cécht") is an early Irish legal text on the law of illegal injury, detailing the fines due to the injured in a great multitude of cases. The title attributes it to the mythological physician Dian Cecht.

It is the 34th text of the Senchas Már. It directly follows Bretha Crólige, a sister-tract on illegal injury.
