thumb|240px|St Cadwaladr's church, Llangadwaladr, Anglesey Llangadwaladr () is a small village in south-west Anglesey, Wales, located around 2 miles east of Aberffraw and 3 miles south of Gwalchmai. It is part of the community of Bodorgan, and until 1984 was a community itself.

== Early medieval Kings == The Catamanus stone has been present in Llangadwaladr since the 7th century. thumb|240px|left|King Cadfan's tombstone as an enhanced image. The village is a short distance from the ancient llys () of the kings of Gwynedd, and is reputed to have been their royal burial ground. The inscription on one monumental stone in the St. Cadwaladr's Church (pictured) reads "Catamanus rex sapientisimus opinatisimus omnium regum" (), suggesting that Cadfan ap Iago (c. 569 – c. 625?) King of Gwynedd, is buried there. One of the windows of St Cadwaladr's church dates from the 12th century. Unusually, the advowson (right of presentation) of the benefice lay with the monarch rather than the bishop, until Disestablishment (1920).
