Llanbadoc (Welsh: Llanbadog Fawr) is a village and former civil parish in the ceremonial county of Monmouthshire in Wales.The population of the village at the 2011 census was 806. The village is in the Newport postal district of NP15, just across the River Usk from the town of Usk (Welsh: Brynbuga), off the A472 road. There are not many facilities in this small village - there is a village and parish church, a garage, a saw mill, an open prison and an agricultural college. Llanbadoc is the birthplace (1823) of Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913).
Llanbaddock is located directly west of the town of Usk and north of the parish of Llangibby. A Vision of Britain through Time reported that it contained the chapelry of Cilfeigan, the hamlet of Wern Hir, and the chapelry of Monkswood which later became a separate civil parish to the north.
