Betws yn Rhos (English: Chapel house in Rhos) is a village and community in Conwy County Borough, Wales.

Betws yn Rhos is located about 5 miles (8.0 km) inland between the coastal towns of Abergele and Colwyn Bay. Until 1974 it formed part of Denbighshire, but subsequent local government reorganisations saw it administered as part of Clwyd from 1974 to 1996, before its current administration as part of Conwy County Borough. At the 2001 census the population was 944,[1] increasing to 1,052 at the 2011 census.[2]

The village itself only has a population of 312.[3] The community includes the small settlements of Llanelian-yn-Rhos, Trofarth, Dolwen, Bryn-y-maen, and Dawn.[4]
