Pont Minllyn (also known as Pont-y-Ffinant, Pontrusk Bridge or the Packhorse Bridge) is a bridge spanning the River Dyfi, south of the village of Dinas Mawddwy, in Gwynedd, Wales. It was built by John Davies, rector of Mallwyd between 1603 and 1644 and a famed Welsh scholar who wrote a Welsh grammar and worked on early Welsh translations of the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer. Pont Minllyn was designed as a packhorse bridge to facilitate the transportation of goods. It is a Grade II listed building and a Scheduled monument.
