Craig Cerrig-gleisiad is a subsidiary summit of Fan Fawr in the Fforest Fawr section of the Brecon Beacons National Park, South Wales. It makes up half of the Craig Cerrig-gleisiad and Fan Frynych National Nature Reserve with its sister peak Fan Frynych.

The summit is marked by a pile of stones, and sits on the edge of steep north facing cliffs which provide one of the few habitats for arctic-alpine plants this far south in the British Isles. To the south-west is Fan Llia.[1]
