Pen yr Helgi Du (Pen ur Helgi Dee – Hill of the Black Hound) is a mountain peak in the eastern part of the Carneddau.
It lies on the south-eastern flanks of Carnedd Llewelyn, and is linked to Carnedd Llewelyn over the col of Bwlch Eryl Farchog, a knife-edge ridge over the cliffs of Craig Yr Ysfa.
Its name translates as “Head” or “Hill of the Black Hound“.
