Llandysilio is a small village and community in Montgomeryshire, Powys, Wales.

Its population at the 2001 Census was 962,[1] increasing to 1,122 at the 2011 census.[2] The present parish church, dedicated to Saint Tysilio, dates from 1867 but tradition states that a church was founded here by Tysilio in the seventh century.[3] The community includes the village of Four Crosses.

Robert Baugh (1748–1832), a Welsh surveyor, copper-plate engraver, map-maker and print-maker came from the town; as did Rev. Elias Owen MA, F.S.A. (1833–1899), a Welsh cleric and antiquarian.
