The O'Boylan (Irish: Ó Baoigheallain) or O'Boyland is an Irish clan from Dartraighe.

According to historian C. Thomas Cairney, the O'Boylans were a chiefly family of the Oirghialla (or Airgíalla or Oriel) who were a tribe of the Laigin, the third wave of Celts to settle in Ireland during the first century BC.
