Niníne Éces (fl. 700) was an Irish poet, thought to be a member of the Uí Echdach, a kindred known for learning, who were located in the south and west of what is now County Armagh. They are recorded as producing several high-ranking ecclesiastics.
Niníne's surviving compositions include Admuinemmar nóeb-Patraicc. This poem, addressed to
St. Patrick, was the basis for Dóchas Linn Naomh Pádraig by Tomás Ó Flannghaile
(1846–1915).
