Ulick Canning de Burgh, Lord Dunkellin (English: /ˈjuːlɪk/; English: /dˈbɜːr/; /dʌnˈkɛlɪn/; YOO-lik; d’-BER; dun-KELL-in; 12 July 1827 – 16 August 1867) was an Anglo-Irish soldier and politician who served during the Crimean War and was Military Secretary to the Viceroy of India and MP for Galway Borough (1857–65) and County Galway (1865–67).

A statue was erected to him in Eyre Square, Galway in 1873 in honour of his military career, and political career as MP for Galway Borough and County Galway. However, the statue was torn down after Irish independence in 1922, partly on account of his brother Hubert de Burgh-Canning who was a notoriously unpopular landlord in County Galway.^[1]
