Hugh O'Neill, 4th Baron Dungannon (c. 1585 – c. 23 September 1609) was an Irish nobleman. The eldest son of Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, and Siobhán O'Donnell, he was heir to the O'Neill clan, 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. A year later he died in Rome aged 24. He is buried alongside his father and two half-uncles (Rory O'Donnell and Cathbarr O'Donnell) in San Pietro in Montorio.
