Llanddewi Velfrey (also spelled Llandewi Velfrey or Llan-ddewi-vel-vre; Welsh: Llanddewi Efelffre) is a village, parish and community of Pembrokeshire in West Wales. Historically it was in the Narberth Hundred. The village is in Lampeter Vale, 2 miles (3 km) northeast of Narberth along the A40. In 1831 it had a population of 710 people. In 2011 the population was 393.
The village is situated in a rich and fertile vale, watered by the river Tâf, which separates the parish from that of Llangain in the county of Carmarthen. The lands are wholly enclosed and in a good state of cultivation, and the soil is eminently fertile.
