Mynydd-bach is an electoral ward in Swansea, Wales, lying just to the north of the city centre. The Welsh name literally means "small mountain" and the ward is principally residential, with a mix of terraced streets and suburban housing, interspersed with small parks and community facilities.
The area bears the imprint of Swansea's industrial past and has a strong local, working‑class character, now served by neighbourhood shops, schools and regular bus links into the city. Active community groups and local projects help maintain a close‑knit feel, while its proximity to green spaces and the city centre makes it practical for commuters seeking a quieter urban neighbourhood.
