Cadell ap Brochfael ('Cadell, son of Brochfael'; died c. 808), also known as Cadell Powys, was an 8th- and 9th-century king of Powys.
He was the son of Brochfael ab Elisedd, whom he succeeded to the throne c. 773.[citation needed]
The Annals of Wales mention his death, and Phillimore's reconstruction dates the entry to AD 808.[citation needed] His name also was inscribed (as "Cattell")[citation needed] on the Pillar of Eliseg.[1]
He was succeeded by his son Cyngen ap Cadell, the last known king of the Cadelling dynasty of Powys.[2][1] Some genealogies claim that his daughter Nest became the wife of Merfyn Frych, the king of the neighbouring kingdom of Gwynedd.[2][1]
