Fan Brycheiniog is a mountain in the Brecon Beacons National Park in South Wales. The peak is also within the Fforest Fawr Geopark designated in 2005 in recognition of the area's geological heritage.
It is the highest peak in the western Black Mountain region of the park. The Beacons Way, a waymarked long distance footpath forks near the mountain, with one option passing over the summit and along the long ridge, and the other option offering a lowland route passing beside the lake Llyn y Fan Fawr to the east of the summit. This path leads to the mountain from Llanddeusant in the north-west and Glyntawe in the south-east.
In winter the mountain is spectacular and in summer provides great views.
North-west of the main summit is a slight rise called Fan Foel, which, at 781 m above sea level, is the highest point in the county of Carmarthenshire.
