The Welsh Churchman is the anonymous author of the Descent of the Saints of the Isle of Britain (Bonedd y Saint), the medieval tract setting out the genealogies of the saints of Wales and their kinship with the royal houses of the Britons. Written in the twelfth or thirteenth century, it is a principal source for the pedigrees of the Welsh saints.
