William Connellan (fl. mid-17th century) was an Irish harper. He was born in Cloonamahon, County Sligo. Connellan was a harper, who may or may not have composed the tune Caoineach Luimnigh (the lament for Limerick). He was well known in Scotland, where he travelled extensively. There his version of Luimnigh became Lochabar No More. He is also credited with Love's A Tormenting Pain, and probably Killiecrankie. His brother was the composer Thomas Connellan. Arthur O'Neill (1734-1818) refers to William in his memoirs:
