Saint Corbmac son of Niall is an Irish saint of the undivided Church, remembered in the old martyrologies of Ireland as a bishop.

The Martyrology of Donegal, compiled in 1630 from older sources, commemorates him on 14 December. The Martyrology of Tallaght, from the early ninth century, lists a similar name on the same day. The date is that of the old Irish calendar, that is, in the old style.
