Conradh na Gaeilge (The Gaelic League) is an organization "for the purpose of keeping the Irish language spoken in Ireland." It was founded in Dublin on July 31, 1893 by Douglas Hyde, a Protestant from Frenchpark, County Roscommon with the aid of Eugene O'Growney, Eoin MacNeill, Luke K. Walsh and others. It developed from the earlier Gaelic Union and became the leading institution promoting the Gaelic Revival. The league's first newspaper was An Claidheamh Soluis ("The Sword of Light") and its most noted editor was Patrick Pearse.

Though apolitical, Conradh attracted many Irish Nationalists of different persuasions, much like the Gaelic Athletic Association before it. It was through Conradh that many future political leaders and rebels first met, laying the foundation for groups such as the Irish Volunteers. Most of the signatories of the Easter Proclamation were members.
