Henryd is a village and community (a Welsh civil parish) on the western slopes of the Conwy valley in Conwy county borough, in north Wales. It lies about 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Conwy, off the B5106 road. At the 2001 UK census, it had a population of 594, increasing to 715 at the 2011 census.

The meaning of Henryd in English is "Old ford", with hen meaning "old" and rhyd (mutated to ryd) meaning "ford". The river Henryd, a tributary of the river Conwy, flows through the village.

Henryd was formed in 1934 in Nant Conwy Rural District from the parish of Llechwedd which was abolished at the time and had formerly been in the Conwy Rural District.
