Brawdy (Welsh: Breudeth) is a village and parish in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is situated at the north-east corner of St Brides Bay. The southern half of the parish is in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The parish has 4 km of coastline accessible throughout by the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. The parish includes the villages of Penycwm and Newgale (Welsh: Niwgwl), and the hamlets of Eweston (Welsh: Treŵen), Tancredston (Welsh: Trebwrnallt) and Trefgarn Owen. During the second half of the 20th century, it was home to a large RAF base. Together with the parishes of Llandeloy and Llanreithan, it constitutes the community of Brawdy, which had a population of 611 in 2001. With the community of Solva, it makes up the Pembrokeshire ward of Solva.

The Welsh name appears to be an archaic form of "Bridget" and the parish may originally have been Llanfreudeth. The English name is a corruption of the Welsh. The Pembrokeshire language frontier corresponds roughly with the southern boundary of the parish, and it has always been predominantly Welsh-speaking (excluding RAF personnel).

The parish had an area of 2240 Ha. Its census populations were: 572 (1801): 753 (1851): 467 (1901): 425 (1951): 798 (1981, of which around 400 were military)

The percentage of Welsh speakers was 88 (1891): 72 (1931): 36 (1971)
