Upper Cwmbran (Welsh: Cwmbrân Uchaf) is a suburb of Cwmbran, Torfaen in South Wales. It lies in between the suburbs of Pontnewydd and Thornhill.
The area is mainly made up of 1950s and 1960s houses with occasional older Victorian properties. There are two pubs, The Queen Inn and The Bush Inn, along with a convenience store. The main thoroughfare is Thornhill Road, which eventually becomes Ty Pwca Road as it heads towards Pontnewydd.
Upper Cwmbran is home to the Cwmbran Brewery.
