Tenby (Welsh: Dinbych-y-Pysgod, "village of fish") is a town in Pembrokeshire, west Wales, lying on Carmarthen Bay. Probably originating as a Viking settlement, the town grew around the now-ruined Tenby Castle as a port, and is now a popular seaside resort.

Attractions in Tenby include four kilometres of beaches, the 13th-century town walls, the Five Arches barbican, the 15th-century St Mary's Church, the Tudor Merchant's House, a museum and art gallery, and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, part of Britain's only coastal National Park.

Boats sail from Tenby's harbour to Caldey Island, while St Catherine's Island is linked to the town at low tide.

The painter Augustus John was born in Tenby in 1871.
