Glangrwyney is a hamlet in southern Brecknockshire, adjacent to the border with Monmouthshire. It is found on the A40 trunk road, two miles south-east of Crickhowell, and a mile and a half north of Gilwern. The hamlet's previous name of Llangrwyne is perhaps more indicative of its position on the Grwyne Fawr river, just north of its confluence with the River Usk.

Amenities include the Bell Inn, and Glangrwyney Court, a Grade-II listed late 17th-century country house.
