Lád (Laad) or Vérbulcsú (Werbulchu) were the name of a gens (Latin for "clan"; nemzetség in Hungarian) in the Kingdom of Hungary, which possessed lands in Transdanubia around Lake Balaton. They were among those clans, who participated in the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin in the late 9th century. The ancestors of the kindred were harkas Kál and his son Bulcsú.
