Bretha Déin Chécht (Old Irish for "Judgments of Dian Cécht") is an early Irish legal text on the law of illegal injury, detailing the fines due to the injured in a great multitude of cases. The title attributes it to the mythological physician Dian Cécht, a traditional attribution rather than evidence of an actual author. It is the 34th text of the Senchas Már, the major collection of early Irish law. It directly follows Bretha Crólige, a sister-tract on illegal injury, so the two texts together treat the compensation owed for wrongful harm to the person.
