Anmchad (or Amchad) (died 1058) was an 11th-century Irish monk. Little is known about him, except that the Annals of Inisfallen mention that he was known as the "anchorite of God" and was buried on the island of Church Island (Lough Currane) (also known as Inis Uasail, which means "Upper" or "Noble" Island) on Lough Currane in 1058.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4YKrpH222eYC&dq=St.+Finan+Cam&pg=PA134|author=Carver, Martin|title=The cross goes north: processes of conversion in northern Europe, AD 300-1300|publisher=Boydell Press|year=2006|page=134|isbn=1-84383-125-2}}{{Cite web |url=https://cora.ucc.ie/bitstream/handle/10468/3064/Sheehan_2012_b.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y |title=The crux of the matter: pillars, slabs and boulders |last=Sheehan |first=John |editor-last=Connolly |editor-first=W |website=CORA |page=110 |publication-date=August 2012}} He was from Longford, and served as a monk in the Inis Cealtra monastery, located in Lough Ree.
