Crickhowell (Welsh: Crughywel or Crucywel) is a town in Powys, traditional county of Brecknockshire, mid Wales. The name is taken from the nearby hill fort of Crug Hywel. The town lies on the River Usk, on the southern edge of the Black Mountains in the eastern part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The town has a population of around 2,000 people.

Notable buildings in Crickhowell include its seventeenth century bridge with its odd arches (twelve on one side, thirteen on the other) and its seat built into the walls, St Edmund's the fourteenth century parish church, and the ruins of Crickhowell Castle on the "tump".
