Caerleon (Welsh: Caerllion) is a suburban village and community, situated on the River Usk in the northern outskirts of the city of Newport (of which it is also a electoral ward) in south-east Wales.

Geography
The centre of Caerleon sits in the Usk valley and the river forms part of the community's southern boundary. In the northern part of the village, across the railway, the land rises sharply up to Lodge Wood and its hill fort. The community's western boundary is formed by the A4042 road and the northern one partly by the Malthouse Road and partly by the River Llwyd which flows southwards along the village's eastern side. Across the river, in the region of Penrhos Farm, are two Civil War forts. Across the Usk, St Julian's Park, the village of Christchurch and the upland region around Christchurch Hill as far as the M4 motorway and the A449 road are also within the community. It is also home to a large campus of the University of Wales, Newport.

Sport
Caerleon is home to the Celtic Manor Resort, location of the 2010 Ryder Cup. Caerleon also has a good quality 9 hole municipal golf course and driving range.

The association football club Caerleon AFC. are based in Caerleon along with two rugby union clubs; Newport High School Old Boys RFC and Caerleon RFC.
