Castell Llwyd is a prehistoric promontory fort situated inland in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The site occupies a naturally defensive headland position and is defended by substantial earthwork defences characteristic of Iron Age fortifications.

As a designated monument, it represents an important example of prehistoric defensive architecture within the Pembrokeshire landscape, reflecting the settlement patterns and territorial control strategies of Iron Age communities in southwest Wales.
