Birchgrove (Welsh: Y Gellifedw) is a suburb and community in Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom.

It is situated about 4.5 miles (7 km) north-east of Swansea city centre, between the flood plain of the River Tawe and Mynydd Drumau (Drummau Mountain).

Long vistas of the Swansea, Neath and Blaengwynfi valleys are to be had from the top of Mynydd Drumau, as well as a clear view of the Devon coast across the Bristol Channel.

However, many pupils from Glais and Clydach attend Cwmtawe Community School in nearby Pontardawe, while a number of pupils from Llansamlet and Trallwn attend Birchgrove instead of Cefn Hengoed Community School in Winch Wen.

It is also mentioned in a charter to King John to William de Breos in 1203 as "meynhirion", as a boundary stone marking the Gower.

From an early date to the beginning of the 19th century, coal-mining played an important role in Birchgrove.

Mining played a very important role in the industrial development of the lower Swansea Valley, which was becoming the metallurgical centre of the world.
