Bryngwran is a village and community in Anglesey Wales, located on the A5 trunk road. It lies 8.1 mi west of Llangefni, 7.0 mi south west of Llannerch-y-medd and 7.4 mi south east of Holyhead, and includes the villages of Bryngwran, Capel Gwyn and Engedi.

At the 2001 census the community had a population of 781, increasing to 894 at the 2011 census. The village itself has a population of around 400.

Saint Peulan's Church stands in an isolated position at Llanbeulan, in the south east of the community. A medieval building, it partly dates from the 12th century, but was extended in the 14th, and restored in the mid-19th century. The gritstone font dates from late 12th century. It is considered an example of a "rural medieval church retaining its simple character" and is Grade II* listed.

Pandy Treban, a former fulling mill in the north of the community, and the 18th-century bridge at Pont Factory Cymunod, over the Afon Crigyll on the border with Bodedern, are Grade II listed.

Following the Isle of Anglesey (Electoral Arrangements) Order 2012 the ward was amalgamated into a new multi-councillor ward, Canolbarth Môn.
