Llechlwyd Hillfort is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Meirionnydd, Gwynedd, Wales, and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference ME124. The site comprises the remains of a hillfort typical of Iron Age defensive structures in Wales, constructed to command views across the surrounding landscape and serve as a secure settlement for a community and their livestock. The fort's physical defences consist of earthwork ramparts and ditches arranged to exploit the natural topography of the hilltop location. As with many hillforts in the region, Llechlwyd would have functioned during the later prehistoric period as both a practical stronghold and a centre of local authority and resource control.
