Talorg son of Uuid (Old Irish: Talorc mac Foith; died 653) was a king of the Picts from 641 to 653.
The Pictish king lists give him a reign of eleven or twelve years following his brother Bridei son of Uuid.[1] A third brother, Gartnait son of Uuid, was king before Bridei, and some versions of the king lists have Talorg succeeding Gartnait directly.[1]
His death is reported by the Annals of Ulster and the Annals of Tigernach for 653.[1] He was succeeded by Talorgan son of Eanfrith.
