Dúlamán (Irish pronunciation: [ˈd̪ˠuːlˠəmˠaːnˠ]; 'Seaweed') is the third studio album by Irish folk group Clannad. It was released in 1976. It is named after its first track, a rendition of the Irish folk song "Dúlamán".
The songs "Siúil a Rúin" and "Cucanandy" (traditionally also known as "The Whistling Thief") are inspired by recordings of Elizabeth Cronin (Eibhlís Uí Chróinín).
