The Afon Angell is a river in Gwynedd, Mid Wales.

From its source on the eastern flank of Mynydd Dolgoed,[1] it flows eastwards, joining the Afon Dyfi at the small village of Aberangell. The river was known for its salmon and trout fishing in the Victoria era.[2] A number of slate mines were once found along its length, linked to Aberangell by the Hendre-Ddu Tramway.[3]
