Abergorlech is a village 8 miles (13 km) to the north-west of Llandeilo in Carmarthenshire, Wales.[1] It lies on the River Cothi on the B4310 road, between Brechfa to the southwest and Llansawel to the northeast.[2]

The village is connected to Dafydd Gorlech (fl. c. 1410–1490), one of the poets of the nobility.
