Llanfihangel Bachellaeth is a former civil parish in the Welsh county of Gwynedd (and before 1974 in the historic county of Caernarvonshire). It was abolished in 1934, and incorporated into the newly-created civil parish of Buan. It was located west of Pwllheli and north of Llanbedrog.

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

"LLANFIHANGEL-BACHELLAETH, a parish in Pwllheli [registration] district, Carnarvon; in the Lleyn peninsula, under Carn-Fadrin, 5 miles W by S of Pwllheli, and 19 SW of Nantlle railway station. Post town: Pwllheli. Acres: 2,915. Real property: £1,881. Population: 312. Houses: 63. The property is not much divided. A seat of the Gwynedds was here. Carn-Fadrin has an altitude of 1,290 feet. The living is a [perpetual] curacy, annexed to the rectory of Llanbedrog, in the diocese of Bangor. The church is tolerable."
