Wales is a town in Sanpete County, Utah, United States.

A Native American named Tabison, a prominent Ute, had shown Young, then president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a small sample.

Some Welsh immigrants, including John Evans Rees and his cousin John Price, who had experience with coal mining in the U.K., volunteered and were sent to the west side hills to set up mines.

The community's original name was Coal Bed, but was changed to Wales in 1857.

Wales lies on the west side of the Sanpete Valley, at the foot of the San Pitch Mountains.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.3 square mile (0.8 km2), all land.
