Arofan was a 7th Century Welsh language poet.
Nothing of Arofan's work survives. However, his name is recorded as the Welsh Triads as the bard of Selyf ap Cynan:
- "Arouan vard Sele(v) ap Kynan"
Arofan's name is later recorded in the work of Cynddelw Brydydd Mawr, where he is held in regard alongside Afan Ferddig:
- "Gnavd canaf y volyant ual auan uertic
- neu uartwavd arouan"
