Carway (Welsh: Carwe) is a village situated to the north-west of the town of Llanelli in the county of Carmarthenshire, Wales, in the Gwendraeth Valley. It is part of the community of Llangyndeyrn, and had a population of 672 in 2011.

Open-cast mining operations once operated to the north and south of the village. The northern area has been reclaimed and re-developed as the Glyn Abbey Golf Club.
