Godre'r Graig is a village and an electoral ward of Neath Port Talbot county borough, Wales.

The village developed alongside the coal workings at the Tarenni Colliery, which closed in 1949.

In 2008 the community came together at a public meeting held in the local primary school regarding the long neglected park. As a result, Godre'r Graig Community Association (GCA) was formed to provide a vehicle for the community to take charge of the park and bring it back into use.
