David Owen (December 1795 - 16 January 1866) known by the pseudonym Brutus, was a Welsh satirical writer, editor and preacher.
After a troublous stretch working as a Baptist minister he turned his back on Nonconformity to join the Church of England, where he worked as editor of "Yr Haul", the magazine of what was then the Anglican Church in Wales.
He also wrote sizeable autobiographies on the great Welsh Nonconformist preachers John Elias and Christmas Evans.
David Owen is buried in the churchyard of the small village of Llywel in Powys.
