Llewellyn, Tasmania is a small village in Somerset Land District, on the road from Campbell Town, Tasmania to the eastern coast, near the South Esk River.
Llewellyn is often alternatively referred to as Stony Creek, a small tributary of the South Esk. Stony Creek was mentioned in colonial times in reference to the eponymous Tasmanian Aboriginal tribe (the Tyerrernotepanner clan) that still bears this name.
Llewellyn first appears in early newspapers as being surveyed as a township and also as a site of a murder.
A hotel was opened in 1873 by a publican from Campbell Town and by 1886 a siding was created at Llewellyn, with a trestle bridge over Stony Creek, and mention is made of the inn by the road, which had seen busier times.
By 1899 the town had hosted horse race meetings, and there were at least two streets, but by 1903 hotel had already closed as business in the area declined and the town had only the school as a public building - the post office being contiguous with a private residence.
The town now is a ghost of its former self and remains a mapped locality and railway siding.
