The Gwent County History was a Welsh history project which created an encyclopaedic study of the historic county of Monmouthshire, known as Gwent between 1974 and 1996. The series was published by the University of Wales Press in five volumes between 2004 and 2013. Modelled on the Victoria County History of the counties of England, the works covered the history of Monmouthshire from pre-historic times to the end of the 20th century.
