The Afon Ysgethin is a short river in Gwynedd, Wales. Flowing entirely within Snowdonia National Park, it rises beneath the peaks of Y Llethr and Diffwys in the Rhinogydd mountain range and runs in a generally WSW direction towards Cardigan Bay. Its upper reaches are crossed by two old stone bridges: Pont Scethin and Pont Fadog. Below the latter, the river flows through the Cors y Gedol woodland, a temperate rain forest with a diverse flora and fauna.

Flows through: United Kingdom.
