Dolores Mary Eileen O'Riordan (/oʊˈrɪərdən/; 6 September 1971 – 15 January 2018) was an Irish musician, singer and songwriter. She was the vocalist for rock band The Cranberries from 1990 until their break-up in 2003, later reuniting with her band in 2009, which she led until her death in 2018.

O'Riordan's first solo album, Are You Listening?, was released in May 2007 and was followed up by No Baggage in 2009. O'Riordan was known for her lilting mezzo-soprano voice, her emphasised use of yodelling, and her strong Limerick accent. She appeared as a judge on RTÉ's The Voice of Ireland during the 2013–14 season. In April 2014, O'Riordan joined and began recording new material with the trio D.A.R.K.

Dolores O'Riordan was born 6 September 1971 in Ballybricken, County Limerick, the youngest of nine children, two of whom died in infancy. Her six siblings include Terence, Brendan, Donal, PJ, Joseph, and Angela. Her father, Terence Patrick "Terry" O'Riordan (1937–2011), was a farm labourer who was left unable to work due to brain damage caused by a motorbike accident in 1968. Her mother, Eileen (née Greensmith), was a school caterer. She attended Laurel Hill Coláiste FCJ school in Limerick. She later admitted in an interview in 1995 that she had neglected her lessons in favour of writing music and song, although at school she became head girl. O'Riordan left school without any qualifications.
