Cnicht North Top is a top of Cnicht in Snowdonia which forms part of the Moelwynion mountain range.

It is one of the Nuttalls,[1] a list of 443 hills in England and Wales over 2,000 ft (610 m) with a relative height of at least 49 ft (15 m). The list was compiled by John and Anne Nuttall and published in 1993 as two volumes, "The Mountains of England & Wales".[2]

North Top is a bump on the north ridge; it is often bypassed by walkers heading for Ysgafell Wen, Moel Druman and Allt-fawr.
