Conaire is an Irish language unisex name used mostly as a male given name. It gave rise to the original form of the anglicized surname Connery.
It is borne by two legendary High Kings of Ireland:
- Conaire Mór (the great)
- Conaire Cóem (the beautiful)
There was also a female Irish saint named Conaire (however she is more commonly known as Cannera or Connera)
Other name holders include:
- Pádraic Ó Conaire (1882–1928), Irish writer and journalist
- Achadh Conaire, the Irish name of the village of Achonry, County Sligo
