Yann ar Floc'h (25 February 1881 – 2 July 1936), pseudonym of Jean Le Page, was a Breton folklorist. He collected the oral traditions of the Aulne region in the department of Finistère and published them in Breton periodicals. He was one of the few folklorists of that time to publish this kind of material in the Breton language. These texts were posthumously published in the collection Koñchennou eus Bro ar Ster Aon ("Folk-tales from the Aulne river country").
