Mynachlog-ddu (SN143306) is a village in the Preseli Hills, Pembrokeshire and formerly a civil parish.

There are two places of worship in the village: the Anglican church (Church in Wales) of St. Dogfael (sometimes, Dogmael), and Bethel, the Baptist meeting house. It is also the name of community council created from the civil parishes of Mynachlog-ddu and Llangolman in Pembrokeshire.

The village has limited attractions. There are 2 phone boxes, 3 post boxes, and a pub.

Caermeini, or more correctly Carn Menyn, part of the Presely range, is located here and was the source of the bluestones used in the inner circle of Stonehenge. In 2000/2001 a project was established to try and transport a piece of bluestone from the village to stonehenge. The project ended when the stone sank in the sea. It was lifted out a few months after, but the project was never resumed.
