Dyffryn is an electoral ward within Neath Port Talbot in Wales, taking its name from the Welsh word for "valley". It covers a mix of small villages, farmland and valley slopes, offering broad views of the surrounding uplands and a landscape shaped by both pastoral life and the legacy of 19th- and 20th-century industry.
Historically the area shares the wider region’s connections to coal and metalworking, though today the local economy is a blend of agriculture, small businesses and commuting to nearby towns. Community life is centred on village halls, local clubs and chapels, and the ward returns councillors to the county borough council, reflecting a strong local identity and ties to Welsh language and culture.
