Einion ap Collwyn[1] (sometimes "ap Gollwyn") (fl. 1093), was a Welsh prince and warrior supposed to have existed in the eleventh century. Not mentioned in medieval chronicles, he is the subject of possibly legendary or fictional writings from the sixteenth century onwards,[2] the oldest surviving report being that of the Tudor antiquary John Leland.[3] Some Welsh family genealogies claimed descent from Einion.
