In Neo-druidism, Alban Elfed is a seasonal festival at the Autumn Equinox. The name derives from the writings of Iolo Morganwg.

Emma Restall-Orr described it as:

The turning point in this Lughnasadh season of the harvest, the autumn equinox is again a time when the day and night are of equal length. Occurring at some point between 20 - 23 September, it is known commonly by the Welsh/Brythonic Alban Elfed, pronounced elved, meaning 'light of autumn'. Celebrating the end of the grain harvest, it is the festival of Harvest Home.
