La Free Wales Army (FWA, parfois Free Welsh Army, français : Armée de libération galloise) est un groupe armé indépendantiste gallois actif dans les années 1960.
Mené par Julian Cayo Evans et Dennis Coslett, l'organisation ne regroupe qu'une vingtaine de militants. Elle apparaît en opposition à la construction d'un barrage sur la rivière Tryweryn. Copiant son organisation sur l'Irish Republican Army[1], il lui achète ses armes en 1968[2]. Ses actions, publicitaires, restent néanmoins sans gravité[3]. En 1969, Julian Cayo Evans est arrêté et condamné à quinze mois de prison[1].
