Calvagh O'More (Irish: An Calbhach Ó Mórdha;[1] 1540 – 27 March 1618), also known as Callagh, The Calough or Charles,[2] was an Irish-born landowner of noble ancestry.

He was raised in England. Upon returning to Ireland in his early thirties, he was granted an estate in Balyna by the Crown, which was owned by his descendants until 1960.

His brother and father were Irish chiefs - the Lord of Laois - and his son Rory O'Moore was a leader of the Irish Rebellion of 1641.
