Telets (Bulgarian: Телец), a member of the Ugain clan, was the ruler of Bulgaria from 762 to 765.
Telets at first fortified the mountain passes with his troops and some twenty thousand Slavic auxiliaries.
At the end, Telets' Slavic auxiliaries deserted him for the emperor, who won the field but chose to return home in triumph.
According to the Byzantine sources, Constantine V brought home a throng of Bulgarian prisoners in wooden restraints, for the entertainment of Constantinople's populace.
The military defeat sealed the fate of Telets, who was lynched together with his supporters by his rebellious subjects.
