NOTE: There are three other places with variations on the name Llanarmon in Wales: Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog in the Ceiriog Valley, near Wrexham; Llanarmon Mynydd Mawr, a small settlement and parish in Powys; and Llanarmon-yn-Iâl in Denbighshire. All three places were in the former historic county of Denbighshire.

Llanarmon (English: Garmon's Church) is a small village and former civil parish in the old commote of Eifionydd and Cantref Dunoding in the Welsh county of Gwynedd (and, before 1974, the historic county of Caernarvonshire).

The parish was abolished in 1934 and incorporated into Llanystumdwy. The village lies 4 miles (6.4 km) north east of Pwllheli and is close to the village of Llangybi and the mountain of Carn Pentrych. A well-preserved 15th-century manor house at Penarth Fawr is maintained by Cadw (the historic environment service of the Welsh Government), and another ancient monument Plas Du (Welsh: Black Place) is a well-preserved, substantial sub-medieval gentry house. It also has important historical associations; it was known as the centre of the Roman Catholic faith in the region and was the home of Thomas Owen, High Sheriff of Caernarfonshire from 1569, who was imprisoned for sheltering missionary priests in the house in 1571.
