The Sheriff of Carmarthen is a ceremonial position in the town of Carmarthen, Wales. The position formerly had significant judicial responsibilities, but gradually lost those functions. The post was created in 1604 when the town was given the right to appoint its own two sheriffs, making it a county corporate, independent from the jurisdiction of the Sheriff of Carmarthenshire. The Municipal Corporations Act 1835 led to the number of sheriffs in Carmarthen being reduced from two to one.
