Englynion y Clywaid (or Englynion y Clyweit) is a collection of Welsh stanzas.
The stanzas date to around the 10th century or the late 12th or early 13th century according to Ifor Williams, as well as other academics. The earliest manuscript witnesses are Jesus College MS 3 (c. 1350) and NLW Llanstephan MS 27, the Red Book of Talgarth (c. 1400), the latter almost exclusively in the hand of Hywel Fychan, main scribe of the Red Book of Hergest).
The series consists of 73 stanzas with proverbs that are attributed to characters from Welsh folklore or Welsh saints.
