The Pontypridd Deanery is a Roman Catholic deanery in the Archdiocese of Cardiff which covers several churches and the university chaplaincy in Pontypridd and the surrounding area of Rhondda, the southernmost part of the Cynon Valley, and Caerphilly. In the early 2000s, the Head of the Valleys deanery was split. The churches in its western part, in the county boroughs of Merthyr Tydfil and Rhondda Cynon Taf, became part of the Pontypridd deanery and the churches in its eastern part, in the county borough of Blaenau Gwent, became part of the North Gwent Deanery.
