'''{{Lang|cy|Afon Ddu}}''' ([[Welsh language|Welsh]] for ''black river'') is the name of several [[river]]s in [[Snowdonia]] in north-west [[Wales]]:
* The largest of these flows from [[Llyn Cowlyd]] on the south-eastern edge of the Carneddau range to join the river Conwy, passing [[Pont Dolgarrog]] on the [[B5106 road|B5106]] road, just south of the village of [[Dolgarrog]]. The [[Canyon|gorge]] cut by the river at this point is popular for gorge walking, the river passing at this point through a [[Site of Special Scientific Interest]] for broadleaved woodland and a number of rare species of plant.<ref>[http://www.walesdirectory.co.uk/tourist-attractions/Gorge_Walking/Wales18320.htm Afon Ddu - Gorge walking]</ref>  {{Coord|53|10|51|N|3|49|58|W|type:river_region:GB|display=title}}
* Another is a stream draining the south-eastern slopes of [[Drum (Wales)|Drum]] and [[Foel-fras]], mountains in the [[Carneddau]] mountain range. It is a tributary of [[Afon Dulyn]], itself is a tributary of the [[river Conwy]].
* A third is a stream flowing north-west from [[Bwlch y Ddeufaen]].  It is a tributary of the Afon Llanfairfechan, joining it immediately above the village of [[Llanfairfechan]].
* A fourth is a tributary of the [[River Dysynni]] in the northern [[Dysynni Valley]], famed for [[Craig y Deryn]].
