Llanfairfechan ("Little St. Mary's Parish") is a town and community (or parish) since 1996 in the Conwy County Borough, Wales. It lies on the north coast on the route of the A55 expressway, between Penmaenmawr and Bangor. It previously was in Gwynedd (1972–1996) and prior to that was in the historic county of Caernarfonshire. For ceremonial and electoral boundary purposes it was transferred from the preserved county of Gwynedd to the principal area of Clwyd in 2003. It is known as a seaside resort and had a population at the 2001 UK census of 3,755, reducing to 3,637 at the 2011 census.
