The Welsh Refugee Council is an independent charity to the Refugee Council and Scottish Refugee Council, and works to help asylum seekers and refugees in Wales, United Kingdom. It was founded in 1990 and established Wales' first asylum support services in Cardiff in 1992.

The Welsh Refugee Council received national attention in 2025, when Elon Musk shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) falsely attributing a video of schoolgirls to the charity and claiming the organisation was using children to convince refugees to come to Wales.
