'''Gwallog ap Llenog''' ({{IPA|cy|ˈɡwaɬɔɡ ap ˈɬeːnɔɡ|lang}}, [[Old Welsh]]: ''Guallauc map Laenauc'') was possibly a sixth-century ruler of [[Elmet|Elfed]], a region in the wider area memorialised in later Welsh literature as the [[Hen Ogledd|'Old North']]. The evidence for Gwallog's existence survives entirely from two poems of spurious date and several other references in semi-legendary genealogies and literature well beyond his era. If this later material is to be believed, he was a member of the Coeling, a family which is supposed to have been prominent across several kingdoms in northern Britain in the sixth century. He is probably best remembered for his role in the [[Historia Brittonum]] as an ally of [[Urien|Urien Rheged]]. As with many figures of this period, he attracted much interest in later [[Medieval Welsh literature]].
