Cynan ap Hywel (ruled 999–1005) was a Prince of Gwynedd, one of the kingdoms or principalities of medieval Wales.
After the death in 999 of Maredudd ab Owain who had seized Gwynedd from the line of Idwal Foel, the rule of Gwynedd returned to the original dynasty in the form of Idwal's great-grandson, Cynan ap Hywel. Cynan reigned until 1005 but very little has been recorded about his reign, and nothing is known about the circumstances in which he was supplanted by Aeddan ap Blegywryd, who was apparently out of the direct line of succession.
