Finglas (Sindarin for 'hair-leaf'), also known in Westron as Leaflock, was an Ent of Fangorn forest.

Finglas was one of three oldest Ents still living during the end of the Third age. He, Skinbark, and Treebeard were the only ones left of the first and eldest of the Ents in Middle Earth. By the time of the War of the Ring, Finglas had become sleepy and "treeish" (dormant and inanimate, like a tree). He stood alone in a meadow and dozed during the summer. At first he would awake in wintertime, but eventually he remained in place year-round, preferring to remain dormant to avoid the troubles of the world.
