Bedo Hafesp (fl. 1568–1585) was a Welsh poet from Montgomeryshire.
A large scale eisteddfod, festival of traditional bardic crafts, was held for the second time in 1568 at Caerwys, as authorized by Queen Elizabeth I.[1] Hafesp was a top ranked competitor there.[2] He wrote poems about important community members, including memorials to Siôn Gruffydd of Llŷn (1585)[2] and Dafydd ap Dafydd Llwyd.[3]
His surname was derived from a place,[4] Aberhafesp, a parish in Montgomeryshire.[5]
