Ellis Wynne was a Welsh clergyman and author. He is remembered mainly for one of the most important and influential pieces of Welsh-language literature.
Born in Lasynys Fawr near Harlech, Gwynedd, Wynne excelled at school and entered Jesus College, Oxford on 1 March 1692. There is historical debate as to whether or not he graduated and little evidence to support either claim, but local tradition suggests he was studying law before he was convinced to take holy orders by a friend, Humphrey Humphreys, Bishop of Bangor and afterwards of Hereford.
Wynne married for the first time in Llanfihangel-y-traethau Church in 1698.
He was ordained priest in December 1704 and held the livings of Llandanwg, Llanbedr and Llanfair.
