Llanhennock (Welsh: Llanhenwg) is a village and community in Monmouthshire, Wales. The population taken at the 2011 UK census was 496. Llanhennock is located two miles northeast of Caerleon and five miles south west of Usk, not far from the River Usk and Cwmbran.

A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Llanhennock from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"LLANHENNOCK, a parish in Newport [registration] district, Monmouth[shire]; on the river Usk, 1¾ mile NE by N of Caerleon, and 4 N by W of Llanwern [railway] station. Post town: Caerleon, under Newport, Monmouth[shire]. Acres: 1,506. Real property, £1,639. Population: 228. Houses: 43. The property is divided among a few. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Llandaff. Value: £64. Patrons: the Dean and Chapter of Llandaff. The church is good."

In 1935 the parish lost about 70 acres to Kemeys Inferior (or Cemais), a small portion to Caerleon, and the remainder was renamed Llanhennock Fawr.
