Llanigon is a village and community in Powys, Wales on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, north of the Black Mountains, Wales. The community population was 478. The nearest town is Hay-on-Wye, some 1.5 miles (2 km) to the east. It is in the historic county of Brecknockshire.
==History== The church of St. Eigon was either dedicated to the 1st-century St. Eigon (daughter of Cartatacus) or more likely the 6th-century St. Eigion (brother of St Cynidr). The Saint Eigon interpretation inspired Barbara Erskine's novel ''The Warrior's Princess, partly set in Llanigon.
