Coed-y-paen is a village in South Wales, situated at the south-eastern end of Llandegfedd Reservoir, 2.5 miles (4 km) north-west of Llangybi. The village is home to HM Prison Prescoed, a Category D prison.
The village has one public house, the Carpenters Arms.
The village church, Christchurch, was designed in 1848 by architect Sir Matthew Digby-Wyatt.
The church was built as a chapel of ease to the parish church of Llangybi. It was conveyed to the Church in Wales in 1861. A fine Victorian church of the Early English style, it comprises a nave and chancel and a western tower of three floors. It has a single bell.
