Óláfr Guðrøðarson (died 1153) was a mid twelfth-century King of the Isles. As a younger son of Gofraid Crobán King of Dublin and the Isles Óláfr witnessed a vicious power struggle between his two elder brothers in the aftermath of their father’s death. At some point the young Óláfr was entrusted to the care of Henry I King of England; and like contemporaneous Scottish rulers Óláfr appears to have been a protégé of the English king.
