Manordeifi (Welsh: Maenordeifi) is a parish and community in the hundred of Kilgerran, in the northeast corner of Pembrokeshire, Wales. The population of the community (2001) was 478. The village has its own elected community council and is part of the Cilgerran electoral ward for the purposes of elections to Pembrokeshire County Council.
In addition to scattered settlement, the parish contains the villages of Abercych and Newchapel (Welsh: Capelnewydd), and a large number of listed buildings and structures.
Manordeifi's old parish church, situated in the edge of the River Teifi floodplain at 52°03′30″N 4°35′08″W / 52.05846°N 4.58557°W, was abandoned in favour of a new church built on the hill top in the nineteenth century. The old church (mainly 13th-14th century) preserves many old features. A coracle hangs in the porch, providing a means of escape during floods.
The population of the parish was: 745 (1801): 956 (1851): 631 (1901): 602 (1951): 402 (1981). The percentage of Welsh speakers was: 87 (1891): 94 (1931): 74 (1971).
There is an unusually large number of substantial mansions in the parish. These included Clynfyw, Ffynone (or Ffynnonau), Pentre and Castell Malgwyn.
