Oisín, son of Fionn mac Cumhail, is a poet and warrior of the fianna in the Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology.

His name means "little deer", and the story is told that his mother, Sadbh, was turned into a deer by a druid, Fer Doirich. When Fionn was hunting he caught her but did not kill her, and she returned to human form. Fionn gave up hunting and fighting to settle down with Sadbh, and she was soon pregnant, but Fer Doirich turned her back into a deer and she returned to the wild. Seven years later Fionn found her child, naked, on Ben Bulben.

In Oisín in Tir na nÓg his most famous echtra, or adventure tale, he is visited by a fairy woman called Niamh who announces she loves him and takes him away to Tir na nÓg ("the land of the young") (also referred to as Tir Tairngire, "the land of promise") Their union produces Oisín's famous son, Oscar, and a daughter, Plor na mBan.
