Wenallt Hill is a hill located in Cardiff, Wales. The residents of Cardiff refer to it as a mountain, though its height restricts it from being declared a mountain. It is owned by Cardiff county council and operated as public land, and looks down onto the village of Rhiwbina in the north suburb of Cardiff, South Wales. It is mostly noticed for its large aerial mast that helps boost television and radio signals from Cardiff across to the South Wales Valleys.

Just like the Garth Mountain a mile or so away, the Wenallt Mountain can be seen over most of the Cardiff city centre, and on a sunny clear day can also be seen as far away as Weston-super-Mare, which is some eighteen miles away over the Bristol Channel in the southwest of England.
