Murchad was a King of Leinster from the Uí Dúnlainge branch of the Laigin. He was the son of Bran Mut mac Conaill (died 696), a previous king. Murchad ruled from 715 to 727.

One of Murchad's wives was Conchenn ingen Cellaig (died 743) of the Uí Máil; she was the mother of Fáelán mac Murchado (died 738) and Muiredach mac Murchado (died 760 in Ireland), who were kings of Leinster. Other sons included Dúnchad mac Murchado (died 728) and Bran Becc mac Murchado (died 738), also kings of Leinster.
