Bull Bay ({{langx|cy|Porth Llechog}}) is a village and bay on the northern coast of Anglesey, Wales, close to Amlwch. Its Welsh name, Porth Llechog, means "sheltered bay". The English name is derived from Pwll y Tarw ("the bull's pool"), which is located near the shore close to the bay.

The village is located on the A5025. It is the most northerly village in Wales. Also, it contains Wales' most northerly golf course which was opened and funded by a local aristocrat in 1913 to a design by Herbert Fowler.{{cite web|url=https://bullbaygc.co.uk/course/|title=Bull Bay Golf Club|access-date=6 March 2019}} The island of East Mouse lies within the bay, the coastline of which is rocky and contains many caves. Some of these rocks are over 570 million years old which make them amongst the oldest in Wales. The population as of the 2011 census was 287 with 61% having no form of Welsh identity.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/reports/localarea?compare=W37000042|title=Custom report - Nomis - Official Labour Market Statistics}}
