Llwyn-On Reservoir is the largest and southernmost of the three reservoirs in the Taff Fawr valley in South Wales. It is owned by Welsh Water. It is located in the Brecon Beacons National Park. The eastern half is in the Merthyr Tydfil unitary authority area and the western half is in the Rhondda Cynon Taff unitary authority area. The reservoir is within the historic county boundaries of Breconshire. The dam is adjacent to Llwyn-On village.

Nant Gwinau, Nant Car and Garwnant are the major streams that enter the reservoir.

There is a variety of guided walks and waymarked paths. Environmental sculptures can be found on the Wern and Willow walks. The Taff Trail and the Navvies Line paths link Cefn Coed-y-Cymmer to Brecon. There is one bird hide.

The area has in recent years acquired a reputation for the sexual craze of dogging and is a notorious gay cruising haunt. Single men, looking for casual sex can be found at all times of the day and evening occupying parked cars in the lay-bys both around the shores of the reservoir and those along the adjoining A470. In the evening (usually on Sundays and Wednesdays) married couples perform sex with each other for others to watch at the same locations.
