Mac Scannláin is the name of a family that originated in what is now County Louth in Ireland. Ballymascanlan, near Dundalk, is named after them. The name rarely bears the prefix nowadays, and is usually rendered Scallan, Scanlan or Scanlon. It is a variant of the name Ó Scannail derived from the Irish word ''scannal'', originally meaning quarrel, contention, fight, and later, scandal.

The other two septs derived from Ó Scannail, and their descendants are now known as Scanlan and Scanlon.
