'''Gwyn ap Nudd''' ({{IPA|cy|ˈɡwɨn ap ˈnɨːð}}, sometimes found with the antiquated spelling '''Gwynn ap Nudd''') is a Welsh mythological figure, the king of the ''[[Tylwyth Teg]]'' or "[[fairy|fair folk]]" and ruler of the Welsh [[Otherworld]], [[Annwn]], and whose name means “Gwyn, son of Nudd”. Described later on as a great warrior with a "blackened face", Gwyn is intimately associated with the otherworld in [[medieval Welsh literature]], and is associated with the international tradition of the [[Wild Hunt]].
