Llanwrtyd Wells is a small town in the parish of Llanwrtyd in Powys, in the traditional county of Brecknockshire, mid Wales, lying on the River Irfon.

With a population of 601 people (2001 UK Census), it claims to be the smallest town in Britain, although Fordwich in Kent has a smaller population.

Llanwrtyd Wells grew as a spa town, based around the Ffynon Droellwyd spring, which still exists. The town was also known as an eisteddfod site, and is the site of both the World Bog Snorkelling Championships and the annual Man versus Horse Marathon, as well as many other annual events.

During the Second World War, Abernant Lake Hotel was home to the Czechoslovak State Secondary School run by the Czechoslovak Government-in-Exile. Today Llanwrtyd Wells is twinned with Český Krumlov in the Czech Republic.

The town is the home of Robin Kevan who is also known as Rob the Rubbish and has become famous for cleaning up Britain's countryside.
