Conway was a rural district in the administrative county of Caernarvonshire, North Wales from 1894 to 1934.

The rural district had the same area as the Conway Rural Sanitary District, created in 1875.

The district contained the following civil parishes:
*Caerhun
*Dolgarrog
*Llanbedr y Cennin
*Llangelynin
*Llangwstenin ⁽¹⁾
*Llechwedd
*Llysfaen (Detached part of the county) ⁽²⁾
*Penrhyn ⁽¹⁾

⁽¹⁾In 1928 the borough of Conway was enlarged to take in parts of Llangwstenin and Penrhyn parishes.

⁽²⁾In 1923 Llysfaen was transferred to the administrative county of Denbighshire, forming part of Colwyn Bay urban district.

Conway Rural District was abolished by a County Review Order on April 1, 1934. Caerhun, Dolgarrog, Llanbedr Y Cennin, Llangelynin, and Llechwedd became part of a new Nant Conway Rural District, while Llangwstenin and Penrhyn parishes were both abolished, with their areas being split up to become parts of the enlarged Municipal Borough of Conway and Llandudno Urban District.
