Mynydd-Bach is a suburban district of the City and County of Swansea, Wales and falls within the Mynydd-Bach ward. The name Mynydd-Bach ("little mountain") refers to a small plateau, centred about 2.5 miles (4 km) north of Swansea city centre.

Bishop Vaughan Catholic Comprehensive School and Daniel James Community School are located in Mynydd-Bach.

Park View Estate

Park View Estate, also known as the Simcox Estate, is an area of housing between Treboeth and Morriston, on the slopes of the plateau. It was built in the late 1960s to the early 1970s.

Morriston is about one mile or 2 km to the north-east. This estate and its surrounds are within the ecclesiastical parishes (Church of Wales and Methodist) of Morriston (or Clase) which were establshed in the late 18th century. Much of the earlier building in this area occurred after the start of large-scale coal mining, copper smelting and tin-plating. The estate is centred 2.5 miles (4 km) north of Swansea city centre; it is between 100 and 165 metres above sea level.

To the west is Mynydd Cadle Common, preserved as a recreational area, with meadow walks. Horses are kept on a smaller common beside an expanse of farmland to the north next to a school. To the south-east is a large park, Llewellyn Park. At the north-eastern edge are two tall crumbling stone walls the remains of a large building for 40 miners/smelters, named Morris Castle, which was commissioned by the key industrialist in the area, Sir John Morris in the late 18th century.
