Clarbeston (Welsh: Treglarbes) is a village and parish^[1] in Pembrokeshire, Wales, 11 km (6.8 mi) east of Haverfordwest. The parish, together with Wiston and Walton East, constitute the community of Wiston. The population was 318 at the 2011 census.^[2]

The English placename means "Clarenbald's farm", Clarenbald being a continental Germanic (perhaps Flemish) personal name.^[3] The Welsh placename is a translation of the English.
