Rhos Y Bol (English: Moor in the Hollow) is a village in Anglesey, Wales. The community population at the 2011 census was 1,078. Located 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of the town of Amlwch, the village is close to both Llyn Alaw, the largest body of water on the island, and Parys Mountain, the site of the historic copper mines which lies just to the north. It is to the mines that the village owes its existence as it was one of several built to house the miners.

The village church is named Christ Church and is now disused, and so is the chapel named Bethania, but a further chapel named Capel Gorslwyd is still open and here services are still held. The village sits on the northeast of Anglesey.

Rhos Y Bol includes the following townships: Gwredog, Penbol, Trysglwyn Ddisteiniaid, Trysglwyn Ednyfed, and Trysglwyn Hywel; and the following hamlets: Cors Lwyd, Geufron, Glasgraig, Nantglyn, Pwll Coch, Rhos Goch and Rhyd y Gwyr. (Source: A Vision of Britain through Time)
