Ysgubor-y-coed is a community in the northernmost part of Ceredigion, Wales,[1] with a population of 310 as of the 2011 UK census. It includes the villages of Eglwys Fach, Glandyfi and Furnace, Ceredigion.[2] It is 12 miles from Aberystwyth.[3]

To the north and west are the south bank of the River Dyfi and its estuary, with an area of low-lying land. The river Einion flows through the Community. To the east are the Cambrian mountains.

The remains of Aberdyfi castle (Tomen Las, a motte-and-bailey castle) are on the bank of the river Dyfi; it was built by Rhys ap Gruffudd in the 12th century. Also in the Community is the RSPB's bird sanctuary at Ynys-hir.
