Pentre Maelor is a housing estate near Wrexham Industrial Estate in Wrexham County Borough, Wales. In the 2011 census, its built-up area had a population of 305.[1]

The village is part of the community of Abenbury, and forms the majority of the community's population. The River Clywedog flows just south of the village. Pentre Maelor was established in 1947 as a housing estate to provide accommodation for workers from factories in the area.[2] The village has retained its original layout, which consists of a rectangular central lock and connected 'wings' of houses, each of which is built around a green space.[3] One of those green spaces located in the centre of the estate, is an Owain Glyndwr Field protected by Fields in Trust, and operated by Wrexham County Borough Council.[4]
