Brídín Ní Bhraonáin, professionally known as Brídín Brennan, is an Irish pop singer from Dobhar (Dore), Gweedore, County Donegal. She is the sister of Enya, Moya and Pól Brennan and has also toured with family-band Clannad.

Brídín Brennan is the youngest member of Ireland's most successful musical family, the Brennans. The family have collectively sold over 100 million records worldwide. The Brennan family, consisting of four brothers and five sisters, grew up in the remote North West Gaeltacht township of Dobhar in the Gweedore parish, County Donegal. Her Roman Catholic parents Leo and Baba nurtured a culture of music and song within the home.

Brídín's mother was the music teacher of a local school, her father Leo the frontman of the Slieve Foy Dance Band. The catalyst that propelled the entire family onto the stage was the opening of their family pub, Leo's Tavern in Meenaleck where the family still perform.

After tens of millions of album sales by her siblings, Brídín was expected to continue in their footsteps as a musician or singer. Later calling herself a rebellious teenager, Brídín decided to set out into what she thought would be the much more exciting world of hairdressing. Brídín soon worked as a top-hairdresser with Charles Worthington until her sister Moya Brennan asked her to join as a vocalist at Clannad's live performances.
