Old Cwmbran (Welsh: Hen Gwmbran; also known as Cwmbran Village) is a suburb of Cwmbran, Torfaen in South Wales.

As its name would suggest, Old Cwmbran was the 'original' village that the New Town of Cwmbran grew out of. In actual fact, Cwmbran New Town is an amalgamation of the villages of Pontnewydd, Llanyrafon, Croesyceiliog and (Old) Cwmbran.

Despite being part of the much larger Cwmbran conurbation, Old Cwmbran retains many of the amenities of an independent village. The main high street has numerous shops and public houses. The area boasts a large Anglican church and a Roman Catholic church as well as a health centre and small supermarket known as Shop Till You Drop.

Geographically Old Cwmbran is all but merged with adjacent Southville, Llantarnam and Cwmbran Shopping Centre. The shopping centre is but a five minute walk away from the central village area.

Old Cwmbran has two primary schools: Our Lady of the Angels R.C. Primary School and Brookfield Primary School.
