Aberffraw^[a] is a village and community on the south west coast of the Isle of Anglesey in Wales. The village is 9 miles from the island's county town, Llangefni, and is located on the west bank of the Afon Ffraw (Ffraw River). The community includes Soar and Dothan. Located near the A4080 and the nearest rail station is Bodorgan.

The village has a long history as a settlement from the Mesolithic Age. In modern times, during the medieval age, the site became the capital of the Kingdom of Gwynedd and acted as a royal residence for the family of the House of Aberffraw.

The name of the village is often truncated to "Berffro" in the local dialect of Welsh.^[2] Local attractions include a part of the Anglesey Coastal Path, the beach and dunes at Aberffraw bay, a lake for recreational fishing, historic churches and prehistoric burial chambers.
