Monmouthpedia (styled as MonmouthpediA) is a collaborative project linking the online encyclopaedia Wikipedia and the town of Monmouth in Wales.
The project uses QRpedia QR codes to provide multilingual smart phone access to Wikipedia articles covering notable subjects in Monmouth, such as places, people, artefacts, flora and fauna. It was formally launched on 19 May 2012, and led to Monmouth being described as the "world's first Wikipedia town", "world's first Wikitown project". The project was awarded the "Excellence in Marketing" award at the Monmouthshire Business Awards.
