Con Lehane (7 May 1912 – 18 September 1983) was a left-wing nationalist, a 1930s member of the IRA Army Council, solicitor, actor and politician.

In 1931 he was involved in Saor Éire, an attempt by the Irish left-wing to create a communist political party that would have been linked to the IRA.

He was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment by the Military Tribunal for sedition, membership in an unlawful organization (the IRA) and refusing to give an account of his movements.

[2] He retired from the IRA in April 1938 with Seán MacBride as they were not prepared to support the planned bombing campaign in the United Kingdom during World War II.

That same year he secured a High Court ruling that Republican prisoners were entitled to speak privately to their solicitors while in custody.
