Bettws Newydd (Welsh: Betws Newydd) is a small village in the unitary authority of Monmouthshire, in southeast Wales located about 3 1⁄2 miles (5.6 km) north of Usk and a few miles south of Clytha near Raglan, Monmouthshire. Before 1974 it was a civil parish in the historic county of Monmouthshire.
