Cribinau is a small tidal island off the south west coast of the isle of Anglesey in Wales between Porth China and Porth Cwyfan. The nearest village is Aberffraw. The island, which can be reached on foot at low tide, is notable for the 13th-century church of St Cwyfan, known locally as eglwys bach y mor (the little church in the sea) or simply as Cwyfan. The church remains in use and is popular for weddings and christenings.

Seventeenth-century maps show the church standing on the mainland of Anglesey but erosion by the sea of the boulder clay cliffs has created the island. To prevent the church falling into the sea, a protective wall was built in the nineteenth century around the island.
