Seán Baptist Brady (Irish: Seán Ó Brádaigh; born 16 August 1939) is an Irish Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He is the current Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 2007.

Upon Cardinal Daly's retirement on 1 October 1996, Brady automatically became Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland^[3] and was formally installed as Archbishop on the following 3 November.^[3] He presided over Cardinal Daly's funeral services in January 2010.

On 24 November 2007 in a consistory Brady was created Cardinal-Priest of Santi Quirico e Giulitta as a symbol of the new cardinal's role in helping the pontiff to minister to the diocese of Rome. Following his elevation to the cardinalate he joined Cahal Daly and Desmond Connell as one of three living Irish cardinals, a record in Irish history which was unchanged until Cardinal Daly's death in December of 2009. Senior Vatican figures suggested that the Archbishop's positive donation to the Northern Ireland peace process weighed heavily in Pope Benedict's decision to make him a Cardinal.
