'Þjóðólfr of Hvinir' (''Thjodolf'') was a Norwegian skald, active around the year 900. He is considered to have been the original author of ''Ynglingatal'', a poem glorifying the Norwegian petty king Ragnvald the Mountain-High, by describing how he was descended from the Swedish kings and the Norse gods.
He is also credited with another skaldic poem, ''Haustlöng''.
