Llangar Old Church is a medieval parish church located in Meirionnydd, north Wales, that dates from the fifteenth century. The structure demonstrates characteristic features of late medieval Welsh ecclesiastical architecture, with a simple rectangular plan comprising a nave and chancel. The church remained in use until the nineteenth century, when a new parish church was constructed nearby, after which Llangar Old Church fell into disuse and ruin. The site retains considerable historical and archaeological importance as a well-preserved example of a modest rural medieval church and its associated churchyard, which continues to yield information about medieval and post-medieval burial practices in Wales.
