Henllan Amgoed is a small village near Whitland, Carmarthenshire which forms part of the parish of Henllanfallteg. The village is home to a chapel and a graveyard. Henllan Amgoed was served by a small local primary school until its closure in 2004, with the pupils moved to an amalgamated school, Ysgol Bro Brynach, in Llanboidy.[1]

Henllan Amgoed takes its name from the ancient commote of Amgoed, and is the only village to retain the name of the past division.[2] In 1697 a Nonconformist congregation formed in the village, one of the earliest in Carmarthenshire.[3]
