Iolo Goch ("Iolo the Red") was a Welsh court poet of the fourteenth century, from the Vale of Clwyd in north Wales, who wrote praise poems for the nobility and was a patron-bard to Owain Glyndwr.

His cywydd on the labourer is given in English verse by Alfred Perceval Graves in A Celtic Psaltery (1917).
