Gallt yr Ogof is a mountain in Snowdonia, North Wales. It is a subsidiary top of Glyder Fawr, and is the most easterly summit over 2,000 feet in the Glyderau mountain range, the most easterly hill being Cefn y Capel. Gallt yr Ogof is 763 metres high. [2]

It is a sister peak to Y Foel Goch, which is located on the ridge heading west to Glyder Fach. As its name suggests there is a cave to be found on the cliffs on the precipitous eastern side of the peak. [3]
