Iorwerth Beli

Iorwerth Beli (fl. second half of the 14th century) was a Welsh language poet. Very little is known of his life.

Iorwerth's only surviving poem expresses his disdain of the Bishop of Bangor (possibly Anian Sais, died 1327), who showed a preference for itinerant musicians over professional poets, and for English-speaking poets over Welsh.
