邓肯·麦克克里南(中世纪盖尔语:Donnchad mac Crinain;现代盖尔语:Donnchadh mac Crìonain,意为“克里南之子邓肯”;约1001年—1040年),又称邓肯一世,绰号“病人”(An t-Ilgarach)[2],是苏格兰国王(1034年-1040年在位),在他统治的最后几年里,苏格兰与境内外数个地方势力发生过冲突,最开始没有反对邓肯一世继承权的麦克白逐渐产生不满。1040年,邓肯一世率领军队进入莫瑞,双方交战,邓肯一世被杀。麦克白成为苏格兰国王。
或许是他年轻的缘故,邓肯的早期统治平安无事。麦克白(Mac Bethad mac Findláich)被记载的称号为“dux”,身份可能相当于后来的公爵即地位在亲王和爵爷之间,但该称号在当时仍有古罗马含义“战争领袖”。在上下文中,如果与其同在半个世纪前法兰克加洛林王朝“弗朗西斯公爵”以及英格兰大权臣威塞克斯的戈德温被称为“dux”联系起来。这表明,麦克白可能已坐在王座背后的權力寶座(英语:Power behind the throne)。[7]
