Roland Lynch (died 1625) was Anglican clergyman who served in the Church of Ireland as the Bishop of Kilmacduagh from 1587 to 1625.
A native of Galway,[1] he was the Archdeacon of Clonfert[1] when nominated to the bishopric of Kilmacduagh by Queen Elizabeth I on 9 January 1587.[2][3] He was appointed to the see by letters patent on 14 June and consecrated to the Episcopate in August 1587.[2] Fifteen years later, he was granted in commendam the bishopric of Clonfert on 14 February 1602.[4][5] It was said that he impaired the revenues of both sees by granting improper leases.[4] He died in office at Loughrea in December 1625.[4][5]
