Capel Gwydir Uchaf is a post-medieval nonconformist chapel located in Conwy, Wales, that reflects the religious dissent and independent worship practices that characterised Welsh communities from the seventeenth century onwards. The chapel represents the architectural tradition of modest, functional chapel design typical of the period, constructed to serve the spiritual needs of the local congregation away from established parish churches. The building's survival as a designated scheduled ancient monument underscores its historical importance as evidence of religious life and community organisation in post-medieval Wales. Its designation by Cadw recognises the chapel's archaeological and cultural value within the broader context of Welsh religious history.
