Llanbedr-Dyffryn-Clywd is a small village in Denbighshire in Wales, approximately 2 miles north-east of the town of Ruthin on the main A494 road towards Chester.

There are several places called Llanbedr in Wales, as the word literally translates to 'church of St. Peter' in English. There are two such dedicated churches in Llanbedr D.C. (as it is sometimes abbreviated to), the original medieval church of St. Peter which was abandoned in 1862 and still stands as a ruin near Llanbedr Hall, and the present parish church of St. Peter alongside the A494, dedicated in 1863, part of the Deanery of Dyffryn Clwyd in the Diocese of St. Asaph.

In 1831 the parish had a population of 527, a number which fell to 285 by the time of the 1901 census. [cite web |url=http://www.genuki.org.uk:8080/big/wal/DEN/LlanbedrDC/ |title=GENUKIs page on the history of Llanbedr D.C. |accessdate=2008-05-10]
