The River Crafnant ("Afon Crafnant" in Welsh) is a tributary of the River Conwy ("Afon Conwy" in Welsh), which is the main river of the Conwy valley in North Wales.

It flows from picturesque Llyn Crafnant, joining the river Conwy at Trefriw. It is about 2.5 miles in length.

The river Crafnant itself has a tributary, the river Geirionydd which flows from Llyn Geirionydd. These two join a little below the former Klondyke Mill, which used water from both rivers. Klondyke was a mining and milling complex connected with some of the metal mines of the Gwydir Forest.

The river Crafnant is also fed by a number of unnamed streams draining from Cefn Cyfarwydd, the ridge to the north-west.

At Trefriw water is extracted to pass through the woollen mill to generate hydro-electricity for the mill.

Coed Crafnant, an area of woodland in the valley, is managed by the North Wales Wildlife Trust.

Cwm Glas Crafnant is a National Nature Reserve administered by the Countryside Council for Wales.
