Aberystwyth (/ˌæbəˈrɪstwɪθ/ (About this soundlisten), Welsh: [abɛˈrəstʊɨθ] (About this soundlisten); literally 'Mouth of the Ystwyth') is an ancient market town, administrative centre, community, and holiday resort in Ceredigion, Wales. It is located near the confluence of the Ystwyth and the Afon Rheidol.

Aberystwyth is in the historic county of Cardiganshire. Since the late 19th century, it has been a major Welsh educational centre, with the establishment of a university college there in 1872. At the 2001 census, the town's population was 15,935;[2] it was reduced to 13,040 at the 2011 Census. During nine months of the year, there is an influx of students—to a total number of 10,400 as of September 2012.[3]

Including the suburbs of Llanbadarn Fawr, the population is 16,420, the built-up area having a population of 18,093.[4]

The town is situated near the confluence of the rivers Ystwyth and Rheidol, on the west coast of Wales. Despite the etymology of the town's name, only the River Rheidol passes through the town; following the reconstruction of the harbour, the River Ystwyth skirts the town.

Aberystwyth has a pier and a seafront which stretches from Constitution Hill, at the north end of the Promenade, to the mouth of the harbour at the south, taking in two separate beach stretches divided by the castle. Different areas are: Aberystwyth town, Llanbadarn Fawr, Waunfawr, Llanbadarn, Trefechan, Penparcau (the most populous).

Aberystwyth is an isolated town. The nearest city, Swansea is 55 miles (89 km) away; Shrewsbury, in Shropshire, to the east, is 60 miles (100 km) away; and Wrexham, to the north-east, is approximately 63 miles (101 km) away. The Welsh capital, Cardiff, is 76 miles (122 km) away. London is 180 miles (290 km) distant from Aberystwyth.
