Mynydd Llandygái (also spelt Mynydd Llandegai, [ˌmənɨðˌɬandəˈɡai] ⓘ; from Welsh mynydd "mountain", Llandygai "Church of St Tegai") is a small, partly forested hill in Gwynedd, North Wales. It forms the start of the Glyderau ridge.
It is also the name of the quarry village at the base of the hill situated at the edge of
Originally named Douglas Hill, the name was changed in the 1930s after the inhabitants decided that they did not want to associate with the name Douglas, namely part of the Penrhyn family surname. (See Baron Penrhyn.)
Physically the village has changed little since it was originally built.
The area to the south is mountainous and there are a number of slate and stone quarries in the vicinity.
