Rhigos is a village in the north of the Cynon Valley, in the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. For postal purposes it comes under the town of Aberdare, although it is some 7 miles (11 km) from Aberdare town centre.
The village lies just off the old Aberdare road that was the main link between Aberdare and Glyn Neath before the A465 road was extended.
The town centre of Glyn Neath is 2 miles (3.2 km) away. Rhigos lies at the apex of the Cynon Valley and the Vale of Neath.
The hamlets of Cefn Rhigos and Cwm-Hwnt lie to the west of the main village.
There is one shop located in the village, which is a newsagent. There are also two pubs located within Rhigos: "The Plough" and "The New Inn". There is a small school, Rhigos Primary, built in the Victorian style in 1876. Prior to the building of the school classes were held in rooms provided by R Crawshay esq, first mentioned in the journals of William Roberts (Nefyed) in 1856. He states how the school was funded by the colliers and miners of Rhigos who each contributed 1d of each pound of their wages to support a master whose salary was £40.
