Yann-Ber Kalloc'h (born Jean-Pierre Calloc'h in French) (21 July 1888 - 10 April 1917), French writer in Breton and French

He was born on the island of Groix, the son of a humble fisher and he became an orphan in 1902. He studied in the Auray seminary in 1900 and in the Vannes seminary in 1905, but he quit to look after his sick siblings. He took part in the Brittany Goursez Vreizh as Bleimor (Seawolf). He wrote several mystic and Christian poems, mostly during battles.

He died in combat in World War I, near Urvillers/Cerizy (Aisne)

The Breton Scouting organization Bleimor was named in his honor.
