Llanfihangel Din Sylwy (spelling variants include Llanfihangel Din Silwy and Llanfihangel Tyn Sylwy) is a small, coastal village in the commote of Dindaethwy in north-eastern Anglesey, three miles north-northwest of Beaumaris.

A scattered settlement, it is distinguished by a hill fort known as Din Sylwy or Bwrdd Arthur and by a late mediæval church dedicated to St Michael (in Welsh Mihangel). The hill fort constitutes a relatively flat but partly overgrown area, 600 yards from the Irish Sea. Two entrances have been detected. The small fifteenth-century church consists of a simple nave and chancel and preserves a number of contemporary features.
