Coedkernew (Welsh: Coedcernyw) is a community (parish) in the southwest of the city of Newport, in the Marshfield ward.
The parish is bounded by Percoed reen to the south, Nant-y-Selsig to the southwest, and Pound Hill to the west. The northern boundary is formed from Gwern-y-cleppa to junction 28 of the M4, then the the A48 Cardiff Road. The eastern boundary is formed from the Ebbw Bridge roundabout to the west of the International Rectifier plant, Duffryn Drive, along the southern edge of Tredegar House country park, Pencarn Lane and Percoed Lane.
Despite being a mostly rural parish to the south and west, the north and east is a continuation of the Duffryn built-up area. This area contains the giant LG plant, three business parks: Imperial Park, Celtic Springs and Cleppa Park, the Patent Office, Office for National Statistics, Tredegar House as well as the large Celtic Horizons estate and St. Josephs RC High School.
