Bryncroes is a hamlet and former civil parish in the Welsh county of Gwynedd (before 1974 the historic county of Caernarvonshire), and lies on the Llŷn Peninsula approximately 2 km west of Sarn Mellteyrn.

The parish was abolished in 1934 and divided between Botwnnog and Aberdaron.

A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Bryncroes from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
