Crosskeys () is a village, community and an electoral ward in Caerphilly county borough in Wales.

== Etymology == The village was originally named Pont-y-cymer and this remains the official Welsh name for the village. The name means bridge at the confluence of rivers, and suggests the area was known as a place to bridge the confluence of the Ebbw and the Sirhowy rivers, long before its urban development in the nineteenth century.
