Hook is a medium-sized village and community on the Western Cleddau, Pembrokeshire, Wales. It was part of the community of Llangwm. The population of the community was 656 in 2001. Together with the communities of Freystrop and Llangwm, it makes up the Pembrokeshire ward of Llangwm.

It is a rapidly expanding village. It was much larger in the nineteenth century, when it was a major shipping point for the local anthracite which was brought to the quay from inland collieries by the Hook Tramway.
