Boldog is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, appearing in Lays of Beleriand.

"Boldog he sent, but Boldog was slain:

strange ye were not in Boldog's train."

As told in the Lays of Beleriand, Boldog, a formidable Orc Captain, by direct command of Morgoth, led a host of Orcs on a great razzia to ravage the realm of Doriath and capture Lúthien, the daughter of its King Thingol and Queen Melian, the Maia. Boldog drove his Host south over the highlands of Dorthonion and through the enchanted forest of Taur-nu-Fuin following the Orcs' Road of Haste into the Pass of Anach, which cut down the mountains of Ered Gorgoroth and across the shadowed valley of Nan Dungortheb. There, the Orc-host reached the border of Doriath. To meet the deadly threat posed by Boldog's invasion in force, Thingol mustered his full might with his two great Captains, Beleg and Mablung. He led the army of Sindarin Elves beyond the North March of Doriath. Thingol and Boldog met in single combat in the midst of the battle. Thingol wielded his Dwarf-forged sword, Aranrúth, while Boldog fought with an iron spear of some note that was later used by Mablung in the Hunt of the Wolf. Thingol slew Boldog, the Orc-host was utterly defeated and the remnants destroyed by being driven into Taur-nu-Fuin.
