Llanwonno () is a hamlet high up on the eastern side of Cefn Gwyngul, in the hills between the historic mining valleys of the Rhondda and the Cynon in Rhondda Cynon Taf, deep in the heart of the South Wales Valleys. Llanwonno today consists of St Gwynno's Church and an inn – The Brynffynon Hotel.
== History == The ancient parish of Llanwynno (or Llanwonno) included Abercynon, Penrhiwceiber, Ynysybwl, most of Mountain Ash, part of Pontypridd (the area north of the River Rhondda and west of the River Taff), Porth, Stanleytown, Ynyshir, Wattstown and Blaenllechau in the Rhondda. The parish boundaries were adjusted in 1894 to remove the parts of the parish in the Ystradyfodwg (Rhondda) and Pontypridd urban districts, alongside other adjustments to make the parish cover the same area as the Mountain Ash Urban District.
