Brigid Makowski (néeSheils; born 6 January 1937 - died 15 April 2017) was an Irish Republican activist and politician from Derry, Northern Ireland. A member of Clan na Gael in the 1960s, she became especially politically active following the start of the Troubles in 1969. Following the split in Sinn Féin that same year, she sided with Official Sinn Féin and formally joined the party in 1970. However, following the declaration of a ceasefire by the Official Irish Republican Army in 1974, Makowski broke from the officials and helped found the Irish Republican Socialist Party. In 1981 she was elected to Shannon Town Commission in County Clare and later she became a member of Clare County Council in the 1990s.
