Penhow (Welsh: Pen-hw) is a small village, historic parish and community just inside the eastern edge of the boundary of the city of Newport, South Wales, within the historic county of Monmouthshire. The name Penhow is believed to be derived from the Welsh word pen meaning 'head' or 'top' and how from the Old English hō 'projecting ridge' in its dative form hōh 'place at the ridge'. The community includes the estate of Parc-Seymour. The Penhow Woodlands National Nature Reserve lies a short distance to the south of the village.
