Saint Tudwal (died c. 564) was a breton monk and was one of the seven founder Saints of Brittany.

Tudwal was said to be a son of Hoel I Mawr. Tudwal travelled to Ireland to learn the scriptures, then became a hermit on what is now called Saint Tudwal's Island East off North Wales. Tudwal later emigrated to Brittany, settling in Lan Pabu with 72 followers, where he established a large monastery under the patronage of his cousin, King Deroch of Domnon�e. Tudwal was made Bishop of Tr�guier on the insistence of Childebert I, King of the Franks.

Tudwal is shown in iconography as a bishop holding a dragon. His feast day is celebrated on 1 December.
