Llanvihangel-Nigh-Usk otherwise Llanvihangel Gobion is a village and rural parish of Monmouthshire, five miles east of Abergavenny. It is not far from the A40 road and situated on the B4598 Abergavenny to Usk road.

The location is very rural. The River Usk passes close by, and Pant-y-Goitre Bridge crosses the river. The Llansantffraed Court Hotel is situated nearby, as well as the Charthouse Pub Restaurant, currently an Italian restaurant. The Charthouse was the Carpenters Arms around 1901 when Samuel Summers was the publican and the Herbert Arms around 1911 when William Williams was the publican. The village has church, St Michael's.

Harry Llewellyn lived nearby at the time of his fame with Foxhunter.
