Llanfaelrhys is a village and former civil parish in the Welsh county of Gwynedd (and before 1974 in the historic county of Caernarvonshire), located near the end of the Llŷn Peninsula. The parish was abolished in 1934 and incorporated into the neighbouring parish of Aberdaron.

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

"LLANFAELRHYS, a parish, with a village, in Pwllheli [registration] district, Carnarvon; at the extremity of the Lleyn peninsula, under Mynydd-Rhiw [mountain], adjacent to Hell's Mouth Bay, 12 miles SW by W of Pwllheli, and 27 SW of Nantlle [railway] station. Post town: Aberdaron, under Pwllheli. Acres: 1,679. Real property: £1,075. Population: 208. Houses: 40. There are manganese mines. The living is a [perpetual]] curacy, annexed to the vicarage of Aberdaron, in the diocese of Bangor. The church is dedicated to St. Maelrhys. Charities, £14."
