Mynydd Maendy Hillfort is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference Cadw SAM GM099. The site dates to the Iron Age and represents an important example of hillforts that dominated the Welsh landscape during this period, serving defensive and possibly administrative functions for Iron Age communities.

Such monuments provide archaeological evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns, territorial organisation, and the militaristic concerns of prehistoric Welsh societies.
