Conwy is a county borough in north Wales. It contains the settlements of Llandudno, Betws-y-Coed, Conwy, Colwyn, and Colwyn Bay, and has a total population of about 100,000.

The River Conwy rises in Snowdonia and flows through Betws-y-Coed en route to the Irish Sea by Conwy Castle. The borough straddles the traditional area of Caernarfonshire and Denbighshire.

Conwy is represented in Parliament by Betty Williams (Lab), Elfyn Llwyd (PC), and Gareth Thomas (Lab), though these members all represent constituencies that only partially cover Conwy. In the National Assembly for Wales, it is represented by Denise Idris Jones (Lab).

The borough was formed on April 1, 1996, from the districts of Aberconwy and Colwyn, as was originally known as Aberconwy and Colwyn. Its council renamed the district on April 2.
