'''Dingad''' or '''Dingat ap Brychan''' was a late 5th century [[Welsh people|Welsh]] [[saint]] and early [[Christianity|Christian]] church founder.

He is recorded in all the early 'Brychan documents' as a son of King [[Brychan]], King of the Welsh kingdom of [[Brycheiniog]] in south-east Wales.

He was patron of [[Llandingat]] Church (in [[Llandovery]]) in [[Carmarthenshire]] and of [[Dingestow]] in [[Monmouthshire]]. It is, however, sometimes suggested that the latter [[village]]'s titular is [[Dingad ap Nudd Hael]], so-called 'King of Brynbuga' ([[Usk]] in Monmouthshire).
