Micheál Ó Síoda (fl. 1909-1951) was an Irish scribe and folklorist.

Ó Síoda was a native of Carnmore, and knowledgeable about the history of the parish of Lackagh-Turloughmore in County Galway. He was an especial authority on the Fair of Turloughmore, and its accompanying . Much of his material has found its way into print in local history books.

In 1909 he wrote a book called Leahar na nAmhrán, which included handwritten songs received from Pádhraic Ó Comáin of Cregmore. A copy, by Ciarán Bairéad, is kept at the Department of Irish Folklore at University College Dublin, along with interviews of Ó Síoda.
