Llanbadarn Fawr is a community in Powys, within the historic boundaries of Radnorshire, mid Wales.

In John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales published in the 1870s, he states that "Llanbadarn Fawr", a parish in Rhayader district, Radnor; ... is divided into the townships of Brinhyfedd and Cellws; and it contains the village of Penybont".

[3] Today the village of Penybont lies outside the local council jurisdiction of Llanbadarn Fawr being a community in its own right.

The community is served by Pen-y-Bont railway station which is closer to the villages of Fron and Crossgate than its namesake Penybont.
