Caernarfonshire is a county at the very northwest of Wales. Its name can also been spelled Carnarvonshire or in other variants, the spelling "Caernarfonshire" being taken from the Welsh form of the county town's name, which has become the preferred form.

Caernarfonshire contains Snowdonia, the lands about Snowdon, and the Lleyn peninsula.
