Roderick MacLean (Scottish Gaelic: Ruaidhri Mac Gill-Eathain; fl. 1549 - died 1553) was a 16th-century Scottish bishop of the Isles. He was appointed as bishop on 5 March 1550 and died in 1553.
In Rome, in 1549, he published a Latin translation of a large portion of Adomnan of Iona's 'Life of St Columba, which was a very obscure text at the time.[1]
