Bran Mak Morn is a character appearing in a series of pseudo-historical Heroic Fantasy short stories by Robert E. Howard. He is a king of Howard's idealized Picts, who lived on the British isles at the time of the Roman invasion.

Some of Howard's notes date Bran to around 100 AD. Others say around 300 AD.

The Bran Mak Morn stories are a peripheral part of the Cthulhu Mythos. Notably, Worms of the Earth mentions R'lyeh, and a draft of that story mentions Cthulhu.
