Llangyndeyrn is a village in the River Gwendraeth river valley, Carmarthenshire, in Dyfed region of West Wales, United Kingdom.
The Welsh language name of the village means "the church of St. Cyndeyrn". A Welsh saint named Cyndeyrn is the equivalent of the English Kentigern and the Scottish St. Mungo; but the St Cyndeyrn associated with Llangyndeyrn is believed to be a different one, a descendant of Cunedda whose festival is on 5/6 August.
The small village is well known for its resistance against the attempt to flood the village in order to create a reservoir for the Borough of Swansea.
The village is often misspelt as Llangendeirne.
