Llanbedr-y-Cennin is a small village in the foothills on the western side of the Conwy valley, in North Wales, UK. "Llanbedr" means St Peter's Church in Welsh, while Cennin can refer to leeks or to daffodils, the latter being "Cennin Pedr" (St. Peter's Leeks) in Welsh.

The River Conwy runs through the valley, running into the sea to the north, at the town of Conwy, which is approx. 5 miles north of the village. The village lies just on the eastern edge of the Snowdonia National Park.

The village grew out of a mainly pastoral industry (mostly sheep farming and dairy produce). It has a church (Anglican), a chapel (Independent), and a local pub (Ye Olde Bull Inn) which serves Lees real ales (from a Manchester brewery). In the 1960s, the village's only shop used to be a bakery and Post Office also, but the Post Office has been discontinued.

In the hills to the west above and beyond the village are roads and walking tracks giving access to the hills and lakes of the Snowdonia National Park. This is the main route of access to Llyn Eigiau. In recent years the village has become popular with birdwatchers as it one of the best places in Wales to observe Hawfinch.
