San Cibrao de Las hill fort (Castro de San Cibrao de Las) is an archeological site in Galicia, Spain. It is a hill fort of the so-called castro culture.

It flourished during the first century, at the beginning of Roman rule in Galicia.The ruins are located on a 473-metre-high hill, covering an area 384 m long and 314 m wide. Unlike the other hill forts of the area, there are many straight walls and fewer curving structures.
