- For other places, see Ogmore.
Ogmore (Welsh: Ogwr) is a village in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales on the River Ogmore. It grew around the now ruined Ogmore Castle, built by the Normans. The village's main source of income came from mining, until the pits closed at the end of the 20th Century. The village's Gwalia Stores, built in 1880 was moved, brick by brick, and rebuilt in the National Museum of Welsh Life St Fagan's.
It has a rugby club, community centre and a male voice choir.
The village does not lie in the parliamentary constituency also called Ogmore, which lies further up the Ogmore River in Bridgend and Rhondda Cynon Taff districts.
