Gurgi is a fictional character in The Chronicles of Prydain, the series of fantasy novels by Lloyd Alexander. Gurgi is the hero Taran 's faithful companion, appearing in all five books.

With the Huntsmen abroad, Adaon leads Taran, Eilonwy, Gurgi, Doli, and the wandering bard Fflewddur Fflam in pursuit of Ellidyr. When they are attacked and scattered, Adaon is mortally wounded and Taran inherits his brooch, whose gift and burden is prophetic dreams and visions.

In the Red Book of Hergest the name is listed thrice, each time spelled Gwrgi: first under the heading "Three Horses who carried the Three Horse-Burdens", where Gwrgi is listed alongside Peredur as one carried by Corvan, horse of the sons of Eliffer.

A companion book of short stories, The Foundling and Other Tales of Prydain, is also available in hardcover for the first time in twenty years. In their more than thirty years in print, the Chronicles of Prydain have become the standard of excellence in fantasy literature for children.
