Saint Abban of Magheranoidhe (also called Abban of Murneave or Abban of Murnevin; fl. 570-620) was the nephew of Saint Ibar, the apostle of Wexford (a predecessor and contemporary of Saint Patrick).

He was the son of Cormac, King of Leinster, and he founded numerous churches in the district of Ui Cennselaigh, almost conterminous with the present County Wexford and Diocese of Ferns. His principal monastery was at Magheranoidhe, subsequently known as "Abbanstown," today, Adamstown; but he also founded an abbey at Ros-mic-treoin, or New Ross, which afterwards became famous as a scholastic establishment. He died 16 March 620. He is referenced in "The Lives of the Saints" and "Lives of the Irish Saints".
