Glyder Fawr is a mountain in Snowdonia, Wales, the highest in the Glyderau. Routes to the summit lead from Ogwen Cottage on the shores of the lake Llyn Idwal to the north, from Pen-y-Pass to the south, and along the Glyder ridge to the east and west, leading to Y Garn and Glyder Fach.
The summit marks the boundary of Gwynedd and Conwy County Borough.
