Dwygyfylchi () is a village in Conwy County Borough, Wales. It is part of the community of Penmaenmawr which has a population of 4,353. The electoral ward of Capelulo which includes Dwygyfylchi had a population of 1,485 in 2011. It forms part of the historic county of Caernarfonshire.
==Name== The name Dwygyfylchi is derived from the Welsh dwy, "two", and cyfylchi, a word used almost exclusively in placenames meaning a "circular fortress"; it was first recorded as "Dwykyvelchy" in 1287. There are several old fortifications on the surrounding hills. The origin of the name Capelulo, the original settlement, lies in its association with Saint Ulo.
