Michael Finneran (born 10 September 1947) is a former Irish Fianna Fáil politician. He was a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Roscommon–South Leitrim constituency from 2007 to 2011, and also served as a Minister of State.[1]

A former psychiatric nurse, Finneran was first elected to Dáil Éireann at the 2002 general election for the Longford–Roscommon constituency. He was previously a member of Seanad Éireann from 1989 to 2002.[2]

On 13 May 2008, shortly after Brian Cowen became Taoiseach, he was appointed as Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government with special responsibility for Housing, Urban Renewal and Developing Areas. The title was changed to Housing and Local Services in 2009.

He retired from politics at the 2011 general election.[3]
