Glaslyn (Welsh for "blue lake") is a lake in the Snowdonia National Park in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. It is high up (600 m) in a cwm on the eastern flanks of Snowdon. It is a rough ellipse in shape, about 500m east–west and about 300 m north–south, and the Miners' Track runs along the northern shore. [Ordnance Survey Explorer OL17: Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa.]

Glaslyn is the source of the Afon Glaslyn, the major river of Gwynedd, which runs east to the reservoir of Llyn Llydaw before turning southwest to reach the sea at Porthmadog.
