Aber-arad (also spelt Aberarad or Aber-Arad) is a village in Carmarthenshire, Wales,[1] which lies less than one mile to the east of Newcastle Emlyn.

In 1870–72, John Marius Wilson in the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Aber Arad as:

ABERARAD, a village in the parish of Kenarth, Carmarthen; a mile east of Newcastle-Emlyn.[2]

In 2023 it was reported that locals were unhappy with the noise and smell coming from Dairy Partners Ltd's cheese factory in the village.[3][4][5] They also installed waste tanks without planning permission.[6] Despite this the factory still wants to remain "good neighbours" with the locals of the village.[7]
