Llandrindod Wells, town and resort, Powys county, historic county of Radnorshire (Sir Faesyfed), central Wales. It lies on the River Ithon, a tributary of the River Wye, and is the administrative centre of Powys county.

The town developed as a spa, based on medicinal waters first discovered about 1696, and, with the coming of the railroad in the 19th century, it became widely popular. The spa declined after World War II and closed in the 1960s, but it reopened in 1983. The town is an active tourist centre, with a number of hotels, spacious streets, parks, and museums, and a 14-acre (6-hectare) boating lake. To the northwest lie the remains of the Roman fort of Castell Collen. Pop. (2001) 5,024; (2011) 5,309.
