Trostrey (Welsh: Trostre) is a small hamlet and parish in Monmouthshire, Wales located about 2 1⁄2 miles (4.0 km) north/northwest of Usk.

An 11th-century earthen motte-and-bailey castle was replaced in the 13th century by a small stone fort. A manor house, Trostrey Court stands 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) east of the village. The parish church is dedicated to St David.

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