Nant Conway (an anglicisation of the Welsh "Nant Conwy") was a rural district in the administrative county of Caernarvonshire from 1934 to 1974. The district was formed by a County Review Order, combining the areas of Geirionydd Rural District with most of Conway Rural District and part of Ogwen Rural District. The name is derived from Nant Conwy, a historic cwmwd of Gwynedd, part of the cantref of Arllechwedd.

The district contained the following civil parishes:
*Caerhun(1)
*Capel Curig(2) (absorbed parts of Llandegai and Llanllechid(3))
*Dolgarrog(1) (absorbed Maenan Abbey parish(2))
*Dolwyddelan(2)
*Eidda(2)
*Henryd (created 1934 from merger of Llangelynnin, Llechwedd parishes(1))
*Llanbedrycennin(1)
*Llanrhychwyn(2)
*Maenan(2)
*Penmachno(2)
*Trefriw(2)
