The Dalway harp, Cloyne harp, or Fitzgerald harp is an early modern Irish harp whose extant fragments are in the National Museum of Ireland – Decorative Arts and History. It made in 1621 by Donnchadh fitz Teig (Donatus Filius Thadei) for Sir John MacEdmond Fitzgerald of Cloyne in County Cork (grandson of John Fitzedmund Fitzgerald of Youghal). Richly carved, with 52 strings, it was originally painted in bright colours and has inscriptions in Latin and Irish, including Ego sum regina citherarum "I am the queen of harps". These were translated by Eugene O'Curry. It was described in 1809 in Edward Bunting's Irish Melodies, which has an engraving of it as its frontispiece. At that time it was owned by the Dalway family of Bellahill, Carrickfergus, County Antrim. Correspondence from about 1849
