St David's Church is an active parish church in the village of Llanddew, Powys, Wales. It stands next to the castle, some 2km to the north-east of Brecon. It is traditionally associated with Gerald of Wales, who served as Archdeacon of Brecon and lived in the castle in the late 12th century. Ruined by the mid-19th century, the church was restored by Ewan Christian. St David's is designated by Cadw as a Grade I listed building.
