Rhinog Fawr is a mountain in Snowdonia, North Wales and forms part of the Rhinogydd range.

In common with most of the range, the terrain is characterised by hard sedimentary rock covered with heather, making progress on foot difficult. The ascent is most easily made from the north-east or north-west, via the Roman Steps pass.
