Amlwch is a town on the north coast of Anglesey in Wales.

It grew in the eighteenth century around what was then the world's biggest copper mine at the nearby Parys Mountain. By the late eighteenth century, Amlwch has a population of around 10,000 and was the second largest town in Wales after Merthyr Tydfil. When competition arose overseas, the population shrank. A single copper mine remains, but the town's main industry today is fishing.

Attractions in Amlwch include its restored port, its watch house containing a small museum, and the reinforced concrete church Our Lady of the Sea.

There is a small harbor there.
