Rhigos is a village in the north of the Cynon Valley, in Rhondda Cynon Taff, Wales. For postal reasons it comes under the town of Aberdare, although it is some 7 miles from Aberdare town centre.

The village lies just off the old Aberdare road that was the main link between Aberdare and Glyn Neath before the A465 was extended.

The town centre of Glyn Neath is only 2 miles away. Rhigos lies at the apex of the Cynon Valley and The Vale of Neath

The hamlets of Cefn Rhigos and Cwm-Hwnt lie to the west of the main village.

The village's main social centre is Rhigos Rugby Club House. The team play in Division 4, South Central, of the Welsh Rugby pyramid.
