Liste der walisischen Herrscher

Bis zur Eroberung Wales' durch den Normannenkönig Edward I. 1282, bestand das Land aus unabhängigen Fürstentümern. Die wichtigsten davon waren das Königreich Gwynedd, Powys, Deheubarth (ursprünglich Seisyllwg und Dyfed), Gwent und Morgannwg. Aufgrund ständiger Grenzveränderungen können nur wenige Fürsten behaupten, über (fast) ganz Wales geherrscht zu haben, jene, die über große Teile des Landes Macht ausübten, sind in der folgenden Liste fett dargestellt.
