Llanbadoc (Welsh: Llanbadog Fawr) is a village and community in the county of Monmouthshire and the preserved county of Gwent in Wales. The population of the village at the 2011 census was 806.[1] The total ward population taken at the 2021 census was 1,426.
Llanbadoc sits in the Newport postal district of NP15, just across the River Usk from the town of Usk (Welsh: Brynbuga), with access off the A472. The village falls within the Monmouthshire constituencies of the British House of Commons and the constituency of Sir Fynwy Torfaen for the Senedd.
Despite its small size, Llanbadoc has a quiet but varied character. Its facilities include a parish church, a garage, a saw mill, an open prison and an agricultural college.
The community includes the villages of Monkswood, Little Mill and Glascoed.
