The House of Corraidhín is an Æthic dynasty in Æthele. It is named after the lordship associated with Corraidcastel, located in the present-day Becumescedeland, Æthele. The lords of Corraidhín were originally titled "Lord of Corraidhín", then elevated to the royal class as "King of Corraidhín" by conquering lesser houses.

At the end of the Classical era, the House of Corraidhín moved to conquer the Kingdoms around it through the sponsorship of the Fabrian Church, uniting the Athic peoples and it's head being crowned King of the Æthics. It maintained it's political power since the 860s, surviving a succession war in the process. It is currently the most dominant House in Æthele.

Today, the head of the House of Corraidhín is Malcom IV, King of the Æthics.
