Dafydd Alaw ({{floruit|1550}}) was a Welsh poet about whom little is known. He is thought to have been a native of the Isle of Anglesey and a bardic disciple of Lewys Môn (as he commemorated him in an elegy).(NLW MS. (1553) Llanst. MSS. (123, 125, and 133) His surviving works ({{circa|1535–70}}) are mainly cywyddau and awdlau which praise members of some of the principal county families of Anglesey.{{Dictionary of Welsh Biography|title=Dafydd Alaw|id=s-DAFY-ALA-1550|accessdate=13 September 2016}}
