Llanbradach is a village within the historic boundaries of Glamorgan, South Wales less than three miles (five kilometres) north of the town of Caerphilly. It is part of the community of Llanbradach and Pwll-y-Pant.
It is mostly residential, and contains three pubs, a primary school, a small local shopping area, a recreation ground, a library, two doctor's surgeries, and a youth centre. Being a traditional long and narrow South Wales Valleys village, its potential for expansion is restricted by the river on its eastern side and the hillside to the west.
The village is served by Llanbradach railway station on the former Rhymney Railway line. The village is twinned with the village of Ploubezre in Brittany.
