Séamus Ó Néill, (1910–1981), was an Irish writer from Clarkhill, Castlewellan, County Down, Ireland. Following a primary degree from Queen's University, Belfast, he did historical research under Eoin MacNeill at University College, Dublin. He spent periods as editor of the journals An Iris and Comhar.

The endpiece from Dánta do pháistí (Poems for Children), entitled "Subh Mhilis" ("Sweet Jam"), a poem dedicated to his mother (subtitle: "Ceann do Mhama"), is one of his best-known works:

Original

Bhí subh mhilis

Ar bhaschrann an dorais

Ach mhuch mé an corraí

Ionam a d'éirigh,

Mar smaoinigh mé ar an lá

Nuair a bheas an bhaschrann glan,

Agus an lámh bheag

Ar iarraidh.

Translation

There was jam

On the doorhandle

But I suppressed the anger

That arose in me,

Because I thought of the day

when the doorhandle would be clean

And the little hand

Gone.

Two of his novels, Tonn Tuile and Máire Nic Artáin, dealt with marital breakdown - the first set during The Emergency and the latter in the religiously divided communities of Belfast during the First World War.
