The Archdeacon of Anglesey was the priest in charge of the archdeaconry of Anglesey, an administrative division of the Church in Wales Diocese of Bangor. In 1844 the Archdeaconry of Anglesey was combined with the Archdeaconry of Bangor to form the Archdeaconry of Bangor and Anglesey.

In latter years the post of Archdeacon of Anglesey was held in commendam by the Bishop of Bangor.

Due to the restructuring of the Church in Wales, the post was recreated in 2018.
