Sétna Innarraid Sétna Innarraid ("of wages, stipend, reward"), son of Bres Rí, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland.

The "Lebor Gabála Érenn" synchronises his reign with those of Darius the Great (522–485 BC) and Xerxes I (485–465 BC) of Persia. The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" dates his reign to 705–685 BC, that of the "Annals of the Four Masters" to 930–910 BC.
