Lleyn sheep are a breed of sheep from the Llŷn peninsula ('Lleyn'), in Gwynedd, north-west Wales.

They are bred for prolificacy, good mothering, quiet in nature, high milk and excellent for white wool. They are suited to both upland and lowland grazing.^[1]

This breed is raised primarily for meat.^[2]
