Saint Afan (sometimes spelled "Avan"), or Afan Buallt, was a Welsh bishop and saint of the 6th century. According to tradition, Afan Buallt was the son of Cedig ap Ceredig, son of Cunedda Wledig, king of Gwynedd. One source gives his mother as Tegwedd, daughter of Tegid Foel of Penllyn, a legendary figure who is the mother of Taliesin in the tale of Ceridwen and who is associated with Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake). Afan was the founder of Llanafan Trawsgoed in Ceredigion. He was buried in Llanafan Fawr, where his purported tomb is found, inscribed "Hic Iacet Sanctus Avans Episcopus." He may have been the third bishop of Llanbadarn Fawr, Ceredigion. He was a bishop in the Cantref of Buallt later incorporated into Breconshire.
