Darby O'Gill is the titular protagonist in Disney's 1959 live action film Darby O'Gill and the Little People. He is based on a character created by Hermione Temple Kavanagh, who used him as an archetypal Irish storyteller for her retelling of Irish folklore, similar in some ways to Uncle Remus as an African-American storyteller. He is Lord Fitzpatrick's former caretaker, Katie's father, and Michael MacBride's possible future father-in-law.
