    Great Famine, also called Irish Potato Famine, Great Irish Famine, or Famine of 1845-49, famine that occurred in Ireland in 1845-49 when the potato crop failed in successive years. The crop failures were caused by late blight, a disease that destroys both the leaves and the edible roots, or tubers, of the potato plant.
