Rhymney (/ˈrʌmni/; Welsh: Rhymni [ˈr̥əmnɪ]) is a town and a community in the county borough of Caerphilly, South Wales. Until 1972 it existed in the historic county of Monmouthshire. With the villages of Pontlottyn, Fochriw, Abertysswg, Deri and New Tredegar, Rhymney is designated as the 'Upper Rhymney Valley' by the local Unitary Authority, Caerphilly County Borough Council. The community of Rhymney includes the town of Rhymney, Pontlottyn, Abertysswg, Butetown and Twyncarno.

Rhymney is known to many outside Wales from the song "The Bells of Rhymney", a musical adaptation of a poem by Idris Davies.
