For another saint of the same name, see Íbar of Killibar Beg. For other uses, see Ibar.
Ibar mac Lugna, whose name is also given as Iberius or Ivor, was an early Irish saint, patron of Beggerin Island, and bishop. The saint is sometimes said to have been one of the "Quattuor sanctissimi Episcopi" ("The four most sacred bishops") said to have preceded Saint Patrick in Ireland (see also the saint AilbeCiaran and Déclán), although possibly they were just contemporaries. His feast day is 23 April.
