Olafr Gu?ro?arson (IPA: ), commonly known in English as Olaf the Black, was a mid 13th century sea-king who ruled the Isle of Man (Mann) and parts of the Hebrides. Olafr was the son of Gu?ro?r Olafsson, King of the Isles, King of Dublin, and his wife Finnguala, granddaughter of Muirchertach Mac Lochlainn, High King of Ireland, King of Cenel nEogain. Olafr was a younger son of his father; his elder brother Rognvaldr more than likely had a different mother. According to the Chronicle of Mann, Gu?ro?r appointed Olafr as heir since he had been born "in lawful wedlock". Whether or not this is the case, on Gu?ro?r's death in 1187 the Manxmen instead appointed Rognvaldr as king, as he was a capable adult and Olafr was a mere child. Rognvaldr ruled the Crovan dynasty's island-kingdom for almost 40 years, during which time the half-brothers vied for the kingship.
