Llanrhystud (Welsh pronunciation: [ɬanˈr̥əstɪd]) is a seaside village, community and electoral division on the A487 road in the county of Ceredigion, in Wales, 9 miles (14 km) south of Aberystwyth, and 7 miles (11 km) north of Aberaeron.

The Cofiwch Dryweryn stone wall (meaning: "Remember Tryweryn") lies on the A487 a mile north of the village.

[2]The first mention of an incumbent is of Griffith Powell, who "on July 24th 1582 was a witness before the Court Leet at Aberystwyth".

The document adds that Powell had been "in 1544 appointed priest-in-charge of Llanrhystud at the yearly stipend of five pounds".

[1] The electoral ward stretches beyond the confines of Llanrhystud to include the village of Llangwyryfon.
