Pontneddfechan, spelled Pontneathvaughan in English ("bridge over the Little Neath" in Welsh) is the southernmost village in the historic county of Breconshire, Wales, within the Vale of Neath. It is now the southernmost village in the unitary authority of Powys.

The village stands at the confluence of the Rivers Mellte and Nedd Fechan ("Neath Vaughan") and provides access points to the series of waterfalls that characterise the upper Neath valley. Dinas Rock, a steeply pitched anticline in the limestone rocks at Craig-y-Dinas, is a favourite spot for rock-climbers.
