{{langnf|cy|Llyn Melynllyn|yellow lake|italic=no}} is a lake within the Carneddau range of mountains in Snowdonia, North Wales.
It lies at a height of just over {{convert|2000|ft|m}}, and has an area of some {{convert|18.5|acre|m2}}.
Cliffs rise steeply from its western edge, up to the summit of Foel Grach, and down from which most of its feeder streams flow.
A small dam was built at its northern end in 1887, but this was deliberately breached in 1970. The lake acts as a reservoir for the Llandudno area.
Less than a kilometre to its north lies the larger Llyn Dulyn.
The outflow from the lake is called Afon Melynllyn, this stream flowing north-east to join Afon Dulyn, itself a tributary of the river Conwy.
