Y Cross Cas-lai (English: The Cross Inn) is a community-owned pub in Hayscastle Cross (Welsh: Cas-lai), Pembrokeshire, Wales.

As The Cross Inn, it was owned by the Phillips family for 160 years, and is the only pub in an isolated area.[1][2] After the owning family decided to sell and were unable to find buyers, it was bought by a community group in 2023,[3][4] and rebranded using the Welsh-language form of the name.[5][6][7]
