Pelagio di Fafila (Don Pelayo in spagnolo, Pelai in catalano, Paio in galiziano, Pelayu in asturiano e Pelágio in portoghese; 690 circa – Cangas de Onís, 737), è stato un condottiero asturiano dell'VIII secolo, animatore di un'insurrezione contro il governo musulmano e, dopo la vittoria di Covadonga, fondatore del regno delle Asturie. È il capostipite, attraverso il padre Favila e il matrimonio della figlia Ermesinda da cui le varie famiglie governarono i vari regni successivi al principato, dell'attuale casa reale spagnola.
