'''Gwallog ap Llaennog''' (several [[Middle Welsh]] variant orthographies include '''Gwallawc fab Lleynawc''' ; standard [[Welsh language|Welsh]] : ''Gwallog ap Llëenog'' or ''Llëynog'') was a hero of the [[Hen Ogledd]] and probable 6th -century king of the [[Sub-Roman Britain|sub-Roman]] state of [[Elmet]] in the [[Leeds]] area of modern [[Yorkshire]].

He joined a group of [[Britons (historical)|Brythonic]] kings, including [[Urien|Urien Rheged]], [[Riderch I of Alt Clut|Rhydderch Hael]] and [[Morcant Bulc|Morgant Bwlch]] of [[Bryneich]], in an attempt to defeat the [[Angles]] of [[Bernicia]]. This endeavour failed after Urien was slain by Llofan Llaf Difo.
