{{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}} '''Fúamnach''', or '''Fuamnach''', is [[Midir]]'s first wife and a [[witch]] of the [[Tuatha Dé Danann]] in the medieval Irish text ''[[Tochmarc Étaíne]]'' ("The Wooing of Étaín"). The text describes her as being intelligent (''gáeth''), cunning (''trebar'') and "versed in the knowledge and power of the Túatha Dé Danand", explaining that her fosterfather had been the wizard druid [[Bresal Etarlám]].<ref>Gantz, ''Early Irish Myths and Sagas''. pp. 44-5. Óengus warns Midir that she is "a woman of dreadful sorcery, a woman of all the knowledge and skill and power of her people." p. 44.</ref> She is said to be of the progeny (''clann'') of Béothach son of Iardanél, who is probably identical with Béothach son of Iarbonel, the father of the [[Túatha Dé Danann]] in the ''[[Lebor Gabála Érenn]]''.
