Llangwyryfon is a village and community in the county of Ceredigion, Wales. It lies on the B4576 about 8 miles to the south and east of Aberystwyth. The village lies in the valley of the River Wyre and contains the roadbridge where the B4576 crosses the Wyre downstream of which lies the confluence of the rivers Beidiog and the Wyre. Llangwyryfon has boundaries with Llanrhystud, Llanilar, Dyffryn Arth, Llangeitho and Lledrod communities.
==Etymology== The name Llangwyryfon derives from the tale of the Romano-British Saint Ursula to whom the village church is dedicated. Llan is an ancient Welsh word for a holy enclosure and gwyryfon refers to the 11,000 virgins who are said to have been martyred along with Saint Ursula.
