The Aberdare Times was a weekly English-language newspaper based in south Wales. Its circulation was mainly in Merthyr Tydfil, Hirwaun, Mountain Ash, Pontypridd, Neath Valley, Rhondda and Cardiff.
The paper had Labour/Liberal tendencies and its main content was local news. At its inception, Josiah Thomas Jones (1799–1873) was the owner, publisher and editor.
