{{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}} '''Connad Cerr''' (Connad the Left-handed) was a king of [[Dál Riata]] in the early 7th century. He was either a son of [[Conall mac Comgaill]] or of [[Eochaid Buide]]. Connad appears to have been joint king with Eochaid Buide in the 620s. He is named as king of Dál Riata in 627 when he won a victory over [[Fiachnae mac Demmáin]], king of the [[Ulaid]] at the Battle of Ard Corann. Connad was killed at [[Battle of Fid Eoin|Fid Eóin]], fighting against the [[Dál nAraidi]] led by Máel Caích, brother of [[Congal Cáech]]. While the [[Annals of Ulster]] have the battle in 629 and the [[Annals of Tigernach]] in 630, both place the death of Connad before the death of Eochaid Buide. Connad's son [[Ferchar mac Connaid|Ferchar]] was later king. An entry in the [[Book of Ballymote]] associates Connad's descendants with "the men of [[Fife]]".
