List of communities in Carmarthenshire

Carmarthenshire is a county in the south-west of Wales. It is one of the 22 principal areas of Wales.

Communities are the lowest tier of local government in Wales. Unlike English counties, which often contain unparished areas, all Welsh principal areas are entirely divided into communities.

There are 72 communities in Carmarthenshire, with Cynwyl Gaeo being the largest and Llanelli the most populated. All of them have a community council, with eleven calling themselves town councils in Ammanford, Carmarthen, Cwmamman, Kidwelly, Llandeilo, Llandovery, Llanelli, Newcastle Emlyn, Pembrey and Burry Port Town, St Clears and Whitland.
