Hanmer is a village in the county borough of Wrexham, Wales.

It lies on the northern end of Hanmer Mere, part of the 'Shropshire lake district' of meres which was formed during the last ice-age. Neighbouring villages include Penley, Horseman's Green and Arowry.

Until the reorganisation of Welsh local government in 1974, Hanmer was in the detached part of the historic county of Flintshire known as the "Maelor Saesneg" (the "English-speaking Maelor").
