The A499 road is the major road of the Llŷn peninsula in North Wales.

Its northern terminus is a roundabout with the A487 trunk road between Llanwnda and Llandwrog {{nowrap|({{coord|53.0948|-4.2824|type:landmark_region:GB|display=inline|name=A499 road (northern end)}}).}} It then runs south-westerly along the northern coast of the peninsula, through Clynnog Fawr then turns inland crossing the peninsula to meet the southern coast at Pwllheli, it then follows that southern coast to terminate at Abersoch {{nowrap|({{coord|52.8227|-4.5054|type:landmark_region:GB|display=inline|name=A499 road (southern end)}}).}}

The total length is 23.4 miles. At no point is it a trunk road, although the Welsh Assembly has considered upgrading its status.[http://www.gwynedd.gov.uk/ADNPwyllgorau/2007/Bwrdd%20y%20Cyngor/2007-03-13/english/07_01_Review%20of%20Trunk%20Roads.pdf Gwynedd Council response to the Welsh Assembly Government] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080623155411/http://www.gwynedd.gov.uk/ADNPwyllgorau/2007/Bwrdd%20y%20Cyngor/2007-03-13/english/07_01_Review%20of%20Trunk%20Roads.pdf |date=23 June 2008 }}[http://new.wales.gov.uk/news/archivepress/enterprisepress/einpress2003/713470/?lang=en Welsh Assembly Government: Long-term review of strategic road network]{{Dead link|date=July 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
