The Riverfront (Welsh: Glan yr Afon) is the principal and newest theatre and arts centre in the City of Newport.

It is located on the west bank of the River Usk on the Bristol Packet Wharf in the city centre.

Plans were discussed for a theatre as early as 1995[1] but was delayed due to the reorganisation of local authority finances.

[2] In 2020 the theatre received Arts Council of Wales and National Lottery stabilisation funding to manage during the COVID-19 outbreak and upgrade its ticketing systems.
