Theobald Butler, 1st Baron Cahir (of the second creation) (died 1596) was the son of Piers Butler of Cahir and the nephew of Thomas Butler, 1st Baron Cahir (of the first creation). As Theobald's first cousin Edmund, the 2nd Baron, died without issue, the title became extinct. It was, however, revived on May 6, 1583 in Theobald's favour. He became the 1st Baron Cahir (of the second creation) and ruled much of the barony of Iffa and Offa West.
