Mitchel Troy (Welsh: Llanfihangel Troddi, that is "church of St. Michael on the River Trothy") is a village and community in the principal area of Monmouthshire, in southeast Wales. It is located 3 miles south west of the county town of Monmouth, just off the A40 road leading towards Raglan.

The English name of the parish derives from the name of the river, the Welsh "Troddi" becoming "Trothy" and then "Troy". The addition "Mitchel" is thought not to derive from the church's dedication to St. Michael, but rather as a variant of the word "much" or "mickle", as also found at Mitcheldean in Gloucestershire, and used to differentiate the village from the nearby manor of Troy Parva.
