Anthony Bruodin (Irish: Antóin Mac Bruideadha; 1625 — 7 May 1680), also known as Antonius Bruodinus or Bruodine was an Irish Franciscan friar, philosopher, theologian and historian. He wrote works of theology, and compiled materials on Early Modern Catholic martyrology.[1] Broudin was exiled from Ireland and while at Prague, authored his 1669 work Propugnaculum Catholicae Veritatis. He saw himself as defending the Irish Gaels from the slanders of Anglocentric writers such as William Camden, Richard Stanihurst and Thomas Carve. His family were hereditary ollamh to the Ó Briain when they were kings of Thomond.
