Standing Stone on Mynydd Illtud is a prehistoric standing stone located in Breconshire, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference SAM BR228. The monument dates to the Bronze Age or earlier prehistoric period and represents one of the ritual and ceremonial markers characteristic of upland Bronze Age landscapes in South Wales.
