Haverfordwest (; ) is the county town of Pembrokeshire, Wales, and serves as the county's principal commercial and administrative centre. Haverfordwest is the most populous urban area in Pembrokeshire, with a population of 13,367 in 2001, though its community boundaries make it the second most populous settlement in the county, with 10,812 people. The 2011 census quoted a population of 12,042 only lived within the confines of the parish. This agreed with the total population of all 5 wards involved.
The town includes the suburbs of Prendergast (a former parish) and Albert Town and the mixed residential and industrial area of Withybush (housing, retail parks, hospital, airport and showground). Merlin's Bridge, a separate village and community adjoins to the south.
The strategic position at the lowest fordable point of the Western Cleddau led to importance from the Roman era to the present.
Haverfordwest was a parliamentary constituency. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post system.
