Skirrid Fawr (Welsh: Ysgyryd Fawr , Welsh pronunciation: [ɐsˈɡɐɾɪd ˈvæuɾ]), often referred to as just the Skirrid, is an easterly outlier of the Black Mountains in Wales.[1] It forms the easternmost part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The smaller hill of Ysgyryd Fach or "Little Skirrid" (270 metres or 890 feet) lies about 2+12 miles (4 kilometres) south.

It is 486 metres (1,594 feet) high and lies just to the north-east of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, about ten miles (16 kilometres) from the English border. The Beacons Way passes along the ridge.[2]
