IEUAN DDU ap DAFYDD ab OWAIN (Ieuan Dafydd Ddu, Ieuan Dafydd ab Owain) (fl. c. 1440-1480), a poet of Glamorgan .
Nothing is known about him, and no proof exists for connecting him, as Iolo Morganwg does, with Ieuan Ddu, ancestor of the family of Dyffryn, Aberdare. A number of cywyddau are attributed to him in manuscript, but the only certain example of his work appears to be the cywydd to Ieuan Gethin ap Ieuan ap Lleision (q.v.).
