Pwll Dwfn is a cave in South Wales. It is located above Dan yr Ogof and cavers can access it from the show cave's car park. The entrance is not gated.

Pwll Dwfn is one of the few caves in the area which requires single rope technique (SRT). The pot itself consists of five pitches totaling 97 metres (318 ft) from top to bottom.

The cave is terminated by two static sumps and has colonial coral fossils on the walls.
