Thierno Diawo Pellel (born Thierno Mamadou Diawo Diallo; c. 1900 in Labé, Guinea (AOF) – 1984 in Labé), was one of the great twentieth century poets of Fouta Djallon.
The son of Môdi Abdoulaye Diallo, he was named Chief of Mouminia by the Fouta elite and developed in a strict environment, deeply marked by devotion to Islam.
The young Thierno Diallo was then raised to authority by his elder sisters.
Pellel received the usual education for a scion of Fouta noble families (lasili).
Thierno Diawo Pellel is especially well known for his edition of a poem of 409 couplets which praises the great men of Fouta.
