Ysgol Garth Olwg (previously named Ysgol Gyfun Rhydfelen and Ysgol Gyfun Garth Olwg), English Garth Olwg School is a Welsh-medium comprehensive school in the village of Church Village near Pontypridd, in the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. It was the first Welsh language comprehensive school in the south of Wales.
Attention was brought upon the school in 2009 with the revival of a campaign to retain the name of Ysgol Gyfun Rhydfelen, for reasons of historical significance, in protest over the local council's decision to rename the school Ysgol Gyfun Garth Olwg.
