thumb|180px|Graves of the John Rolls, 1st Baron Llangattock|Rolls family in St Cadoc's churchyard Llangattock-Vibon-Avel () is a rural parish and former community, now in the communities of Whitecastle and Skenfrith in Monmouthshire, south-east Wales, in the United Kingdom.

==Name== The name means, in Welsh, "Saint Cadoc's church, of the sons (Meibion) of Abel", the latter part to distinguish the village from others in the area with dedications to Cadoc, such as Llangattock Lingoed. The local form, in the dialect of south east Wales, would have been ''Llangatwg F'ib'on Afel''.
