Gouesnou (; ) is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in north-western France.
==International relations== Gouesnou is a satellite town of Brest. It is twinned with the town of Brecon in Powys, mid Wales, enabling cultural exchanges to take place between these two Celtic regions. A new street in Brecon, passing the bus station, is named Heol Gouesnou; it follows the track of the disused Brecon and Neath Railway.
