Llansadwrn is a small village and community in Carmarthenshire, Wales.
It is located in the countryside above the valley of the River Tywi, about halfway between Llanymddyfri (or Llandovery) to the north-east, and Llandeilo to the south-west. It is just off the A40 road, between Carmarthen (about 20 miles SW) and Brecon (abouit 25 miles E). The community is bordered by the communities of: Cynwyl Gaeo; Llanwrda; Myddfai; Llangadog; Manordeilo and Salem; and Talley; all of these are in Carmarthenshire.
History
According to tradition, it was founded by an early Christian saint, Sadwrn (fl. around 460).
Four miles to the west of the village are the ruins of Talley Abbey (Template:Lang-cy).
One mile to the west is the hamlet of Waunclunda, and above Waunclunda is an ancient fort. Little information is available about this fort, but it is believed to have been an Iron age and then a Roman fort it is believed to be important for its potential archeology.
