Duffryn (Welsh: Dyffryn) is a large council-built housing estate in the southwest of the city of Newport, comprising a large portion of the Tredegar Park electoral district (ward). Built on land belonging to Tredegar House, it was completed in 1978 and at the time won several awards for its design. The layout of the estate, as viewed from above, is that of large terraces undulating around a central wooded area.

Despite the relative recent development of the estate, the name Duffryn is an ancient name for the area. Duffryn is an anglicised version of the Welsh Dyffryn (meaning large U-shaped valley).

Duffryn is home to two of Newport's largest secondary schools — Duffryn High School and St. Joseph's RC High School. In 2006, Duffryn High School was the setting of the BBC Wales Doctor Who episode School Reunion, filmed in late-summer 2005.
