Saint Elo Colman (555 - 26 September, 611) was born in Glenelly, Ireland in what is now County Tyrone. He is famed in Irish hagiology. Elo was founder and first Abbot of Muckamore, and from the fact of being titled "Coarb of MacNisse", is regarded as Bishop of Connor. [CathEncy|url=http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04115e.htm|title=St. Elo Colman]

Elo studied under his maternal uncle, St. Columba, who procured for him the site of a monastery now known as Lynally (Lann Elo). Hence his designation of Colmanellus or Colman Elo. Subsequently he founded the Abbey of Muckamore, and was appointed Bishop of Connor. He is also known as St. Colman Macusailni.

He died at Lynally on 26 September, 611, the day his feast is celebrated.
