Llanrug (or Llanfihangel-yn-y-grug) is a large village and community (or parish) since 1974 in Gwynedd in northwest Wales. It lies about 4 miles to the east of Caernarfon, 7 miles south of Bangor and 3 miles northwest of Llanberis. It is the largest populated village in the Arfon area of Gwynedd, Wales. The old name term of the village was initially Llanfihangel-y-Rug, derived from Eglwys Sant Mihangel (the church of St. Michael) situated about half a mile west of the village. It has a Welsh-speaking community of 81% (one of the highest figures in Wales) and a population of 2,911. The busy A4086 road from Llanberis Pass to Caernarfon runs through the village.
