Tredegar ist eine Stadt im County Borough Blaenau Gwent in Südwales.

Bekannt wurde sie als Geburtsort mehrerer bedeutender Labour-Politiker: Aneurin Bevan, der den britischen National Health Service einführte sowie die ehemaligen Parteivorsitzenden Neil Kinnock und Michael Foot. Die Stadt, die ihren Aufschwung mit der Etablierung des Bergbaus in Wales begann, ist auch Geburtsort des Manic Street Preachers-Texters und Bassisten Nicky Wire und dessen Bruder, der Autor Patrick Jones sowie des Profigolfers Bradley Dredge.

Der britische Hitorienschreiber und Biograph Vincent Cronin wurde hier 1924 geboren.
