Erfyl (also known as Eurfyl) was a female Welsh virgin who founded a church at Llanerfyl in Powys.
Little other information appears to have survived, although her feast day is recorded as 6 July. Locally, she is believed to be buried beneath an inscribed stone in the churchyard. Misreadings of this have led to the suggestion that she was a daughter of Saint Padarn or a cousin of Saint Cadfan. Nearby formely stood the lady's holy well.
