Nash (Welsh: Trefonnen) is a community (parish) in the southeast of the city of Newport, in the Liswerry ward.

The actual village of Nash lies a mile or two outside of the main built-up area of the city. In addition to the village itself, the parish contains Uskmouth power station and the Newport wetlands reserve. The City of Newport campus of Coleg Gwent (commonly referred to as 'Nash College') is actually in the neighbouring parish of Liswerry.

The Nash and Liswerry and parishes together form the Liswerry ward.

The Welsh name is Trefonnen meaning Town (tref) of the Ashes (Onnen)
