The Merrywing Pond System is a golf course wetland system in Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean Sea. It forms one of the territory's Important Bird Areas (IBAs).
The IBA comprises five small ponds and their associated vegetation, with a total area of about 9 ha, on the Cuisinart Golf Course, near the south-western end of the main island, next to Rendezvous and Merrywing Bays. Two of the ponds are artificial, and are used as freshwater reservoirs for irrigation; the other three are natural and brackish, receiving both freshwater runoff from rainfall and seawater seepage from the bays.
