Stephen Lynch, Mayor of Galway, fl. 1504-1523.
Lynch was a son of Dominick Dubh Lynch, Galway's second Mayor, and nephew of Peirce Lynch, the first Mayor.
It was his wife, Margaret Athy, who founded the Augustinian monastery of Forthill while he was on a trading voyage. He may have had a second wife, a daughter of Mayor John Bodkin. He had at least seven sons, one of whom, Nicholas, was mayor in 1554 and 1561.
