Saint Colman of Dromore (also known as Mocholmoc) was a 6th century Irish saint.

He seems to have spent most of his life in that area of County Down. Possibly he studied under Caetan of Nendrom, Co. Down, and was persuaded by Saint Mac Nissi to settle at Dromore c. 514, where he became the first bishop of the See of Dromore. [CathEncy|wstitle=St. Colman (4)]

His feastday is on 7 June.

St. Colman baptized Saint Declan.
