Welshpool is a market town and community in Wales, historically in the county of Montgomeryshire, but now administered as part of the unitary authority of Powys. The town is from the Wales–England border and low-lying on the River Severn; its Welsh language name Y Trallwng means "the marshy or sinking land". The community includes Cloddiau and Pool Quay.

In English it was initially known as Pool but its name was changed to Welshpool in 1835 to distinguish it from the English town of Poole. The community had a population of 6,664 (United Kingdom Census 2011), with the town having 5,948. It contains much Georgian architecture and is just north of Powis Castle.
