Bryn or locally known as Y Bryn (the Hill) is a village situated east of Llanelli in Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is part of the Llanelli Rural (Welsh-Llanelli Wledig) community, and it borders with the villages of Llangennech, Dafen, Penceilogi, Pen-y-graig and Bynea.

It is mainly a suburban area with surrounding farm land to the north and east. The village has its own school Ysgol Y Bryn, which is an English school. It is also home to St Michaels comprehensive public school. The Welsh schools are in the nearby villages of Llangennech and Cwmcarnhywel. The Welsh launguage is the dominant language with over half of the village's population able to speak it. The village sprang up during the 1960s when many more houses were built. Before that it was only a hamlet with a few farms.
