Cemaes is a village on the north coast of Anglesey in Wales, sited on Cemaes Bay. It is the most northerly village in Wales (excluding the nearby hamlet of Llanbadrig). The name Cemaes derives from the Welsh word cemais, meaning "bend or loop in a river, inlet of sea, bay". In 2011 the population of Cemaes in Llanbadrig community was 1,357.

Cemaes is a fishing port and tourist resort, and is known for its beach. It has a sheltered natural harbour that looks north to the Irish Sea and is the site of an ancient settlement.

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

"CEMMAES, a township in Llanbadrig parish, Anglesey; on Yrwylfa bay, 4½ miles W of Amlwch. It has a post office under Bangor. Real property: £2,566; of which £100 are in quarries. Population: 909. A creek is here, with a small pier. A small church was built in 1865."
