Penmachno is a village and parish in the isolated upland valley of Cwm Penmachno, 4 miles south of Betws y Coed, now in the county of Conwy, Wales. The two parts of the village are linked by a five-arched, stone bridge dating from 1785. The village has been referred to as Pennant Machno, Llandudclyd and Llan dutchyd in historical sources.

According to the 2011 census, the population of the modern Bro Machno Parish (which also includes Cwm Penmachno) was 617, of whom 342 (55%) were able to speak Welsh and 214 (34%) had no skills in Welsh.
