Hafod is a district of Swansea, Wales which lies at the just outside the north of the city centre. It falls within the Landore ward.

The western part is a residential suburb. In the late 20th century, this was a mostly run-down area of Swansea, with property prices there being some of the lowest in the city centre area. In the new millennium, many properties in the main Neath Road and some of the side streets have benefited from council grants to improve the fa�ade of the properties. This has certainly improved the image of the area superficially. Beside the River Tawe to the east is a small industrial strip.

Hafod has a comprehensive school called Pentremawr Comprehensive School, and a primary school called Hafod Primary school. The community sports facility is the Pentrehafod sports hall and pool.

Hafod Copper Works
The ruins of Hafod Copper Works, a Grade II listed building, still lay on the banks of the River Tawe. These can be seen clearly from the east side of the river. During the 19th Century, these were the largest copper works in the world.
