Village in Monmouthshire, Wales

Llanfoist (Llan ffwyst) is a village near Abergavenny, in Monmouthshire, Wales, in the community of Llanfoist Fawr. Llanfoist derives from Ffwyst, an early Christian Welsh saint, although the anglicised version of the church patron is Saint Faith. The population was 1,228 in 2011.

Llanfoist was home to ironmaster Crawshay Bailey. Before 1851 he had retired to Llanfoist House in the village. Llanfoist Primary School had a house named after him until 2008 when the House was renamed 'Skirrid'. He died in 1872, aged 83, after at least seventy years in industry. His only son and heir, also Crawshay Bailey (1841–1887), inherited his estate. The novelist Alexander Cordell, most famously author of Rape of the Fair Country is buried at Llanfoist.

The village is located beneath the hill known as Blorenge, part of the Brecon Beacons National Park, rising 1838 feet (560 m) above sea level over the vale of the River Usk. The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal runs just above the village. The village has a church hall, situated on the Merthyr Road. The Llanfoist Fawr Primary School moved to a new location in the Barratt estate (Ffordd yr Ysgol) on Gypsy Lane and was opened in 2008.

Llanfoist Cemetery (also known as New Cemetery), stands on the south bank of the River Usk at the northern edge of Llanfoist. Opened in 1894, its Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales registration describes it as a "good example of a well preserved Victorian landscaped garden cemetery". The cemetery is listed at Grade II on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.
