Hendy (Welsh: Yr Hendy) is a village in the community of Llanedi in Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is situated at the Carmarthenshire and Swansea border, and lies on Afon Gwili, just across the River Loughor from Pontarddulais. Together with Fforest to the north, it forms part of a continuous built-up area centred on Pontarddulais. Most of the village sits between the M4 Motorway junction 48 and the A48 road (Fforest Road) north of the motorway.

The area is represented in the Senedd by Lee Waters (Labour) and in the UK Parliament by Nia Griffith (Labour). Gareth Beynon Thomas (Plaid Cymru) is local county councillor and the community council is made up of Plaid Cymru and Independent members.
