Llantrisant ({{pronunciation|Llantrisant, Ynys Mon.ogg|Welsh pronunciation|help=no}}; Welsh for "Parish of the Three Saints") is a hamlet in Anglesey, Wales. It is in the community of Tref Alaw.{{Cite web |title=Llantrisant, Isle of Anglesey (Sir Ynys Mon) |url=https://getoutside.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/local/llantrisant-isle-of-anglesey-sir-ynys-mon |publisher=Ordnance Survey}}

Its parish church is dedicated to Saints Afran, Ieuan, and Sanan.Church in Wales. [http://www.churchinwales.org.uk/structure/places/churches/?id=2361 "Ss Afran, Ieuan and Sanan (New Ch), Llantrisant"]. 2014. The parish's former church is now a protected building. Browne Willis and Sabine Baring-GouldBaring-Gould, [https://archive.org/stream/livesofbritishsa01bariuoft#page/122/mode/2up Vol. I, p. 116.] considered "Afran" to be a corruption of Afan, a saint of Ceredigion and Brecknockshire. (The 16th-century Peniarth MS 147 concurs, listing the church as dedicated to "Sannan and Afan and Evan".) St Afan was related to the Cuneddan dynasty of Gwynedd and was claimed as an ancestor by a 10th-century Ieuan martyred by Viking raiders.{{cite book | last =Baring-Gould | first =Sabine | author-link =Sabine Baring-Gould| title =The Lives of the British Saints: The Saints of Wales and Cornwall and such Irish Saints as have Dedications in Britain | publisher =Charles J.
