Conwy Rural District was a rural district in the administrative county of Caernarvonshire, Wales from 1894 to 1934. In 1934 most of the parishes were transferred to a newly formed rural district named Nant Conwy.

Conwy Rural District was abolished by a County Review Order on 1 April 1934. Caerhun, Dolgarrog, Llanbedr Y Cennin, Llangelynin, and Llechwedd became part of a new Nant Conwy Rural District, while Llangwstenin and Penrhyn parishes were both abolished, with their areas being split up to become parts of the enlarged Municipal Borough of Conwy and Llandudno Urban District.
