Aisling Cliodhnadh O'Sullivan (born 16 March 1984), better known as Aisling Bea /ˈ æ ʃ l ɪ ŋ ˈ b iː / , is an Irish actress, writer, and comedian.

Aisling Clíodhnadh O'Sullivan was born in Kildare town, County Kildare on 16 March 1984. Her father, Brian, was an equine veterinarian who took his own life when Bea was three years old, though she was not told how he died until she was 13. She adopted the stage name "Bea" as a tribute to her father, and wrote an article for The Guardian in 2017 about her family's experience of suicide. Bea and her younger sister, Sinéad, were raised by their mother, Helen (née Moloney), a secondary school teacher, jockey trainer, and former professional jockey. Her family were "obsessed" with horses and race meetings. In her youth, Bea worked as a tour guide at the Irish National Stud; however, she knew from a young age that she was not interested in the racing industry "as a career" and instead loved performing.
