Mid and West Wales or Mid and South West Wales is a geographic and statistical region of Wales that is sometimes used, consisting broadly of the preserved counties of Dyfed and Powys, sometimes Swansea and sometimes parts of Gwynedd. Since 2025, the Office for National Statistics for its International Territorial Level classification, has used a "Mid and South West Wales" ITL2 region comprising Mid Wales and South West Wales (with Neath Port Talbot and Swansea as separate ITL3 regions). It is also used sometimes as replacement for the regions of Mid Wales and South West Wales or West Wales in certain scenarios. There is a Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service and a Dyfed-Powys Police service. There is also an electoral region for the Senedd with the same name (which is used, in parallel with the smaller constituencies, to elect top-up members under the Additional Member System). A European Parliament constituency existed from 1979 until 1999.

The Cambrian Mountains (Welsh: Mynyddoedd Cambria, in a narrower sense: Elenydd) are a series of mountain ranges in Wales. The term Cambrian Mountains used to apply to most of the upland of Wales, and comes from the country's Latin name Cambria. Since the 1950s, its application has become increasingly localised to the geographically homogeneous Mid Wales uplands, known in Welsh as Elenydd, which extend from Plynlimon (Pumlumon) to Radnor Forest in the east and Mynydd Mallaen to the south. This barren and sparsely populated 'wilderness' has been referred to as the Desert of Wales. The area includes the sources of the River Severn and River Wye and was unsuccessfully proposed as a national park in the 1960s and 1970s. The highest point of the range is Plynlimon, at 2,467 feet (752 m). The wider, more historic, use of the term also includes Snowdonia in North Wales, and the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains in South Wales. They range in height up to 3,559 feet (1,085 m) in Snowdonia.
