Onllwyn Round Cairn is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference Cadw SAM GM530. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and represents a type of burial structure characteristic of that period, constructed from stone to cover and contain human remains.

The site contributes to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age funerary practices and settlement patterns in Wales.
