Sugar Loaf Mountain, usually called simply the Sugar Loaf (Welsh: Mynydd Pen-Y-Fal or Y Fâl), is a mountain situated north-west of Abergavenny in Monmouthshire, Wales. One of the Black Mountains, its height is 596 metres. A Sugar Loaf foothill, Y Graig, was discovered in the 1990s to be the site of prehistoric flint tools dating from the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age.

The Sugar Loaf is very popular with walkers. A vineyard, producing Sugar Loaf wines, is situated at Dunmar Farm at the foot of the mountain.
