Gowerton (Welsh: Tre-gŵyr ⓘ) is a large village and community, about 4 miles (6 km) north west of Swansea city centre, Wales.

The village falls within the Gowerton electoral ward of the City and County of Swansea Council, which elects one councillor.

Nearby villages/towns are Penclawdd (west), Three Crosses and Dunvant (south), Waunarlwydd (east, contiguous with Gowerton), Gorseinon (north) and Loughor (north-west).

On the other hand, many of the manual workers resided in neighbouring Penclawdd and are known by the affectionate term "donks".
