Proinsias Mac Aonghusa (June 23, 1933 – September 28, 2003) was a vice-chairman of the Irish Labour Party. He was a broadcaster for Radio Éireann (1952), and for RTÉ, UTV and the BBC (1960s). In 1962, he won a Jacob's Award for his Irish language broadcasting on RTÉ television.

Mac Aonghusa was chairman of Bord na Gaeilge, and president of Conradh na Gaeilge between 1989 and 1994.

He encouraged the formation of the Young Labour League.

During 1974 and 1975, he worked as a United Nations Special Representative to southern Africa with Seán MacBride. He wrote several books, most in the Irish Language and was a member of the Arts Council of Ireland for many years.

He was married to Mrs Justice Catherine McGuinness.
