thumb|300px|A glashan featured in an Irish folktale retelling. Glashtyn (Manx English: glashtin, glashtan or glashan; or ) is a legendary creature from Manx folklore.
The glashtin is said to be a goblin that appears out of its aquatic habitat, to come in contact with the island folk; others claim it takes the shape of a colt, or equate it to the water horse known locally as cabbyl-ushtey. Yet another source claims the glashtin was a water-bull (tarroo-ushtey in Manx), half-bovine and half-equine.
