Bardd Plant Cymru

Bardd Plant Cymru (Welsh for 'Children's Poet (laureate) for Wales'; sometimes shortened to Bardd y Plant ('Children's poet (laureate)')) is the poet laureate of Welsh-language children's literature. It is one of the two national children's literature roles in Wales, alongside the English-language Children's Laureate Wales role. It is run by Literature Wales, and supported by the Welsh Government, S4C, the Welsh Books Council and Urdd Gobaith Cymru.

The current holder, for 2025–2027, is Siôn Tomos Owen. The role was established in 2000, and has since been held by 19 people.
