Usk (walisisk: Brynbuga) er en by og community i Monmouthshire, Wales, omkring 16 km nordøst for Newport. Den ligger ved floden Usk, og en stenbro går over floden og danner den vestlige indgang til byen.[1] Usk Castle, der ligger på et højdedrag over byen, har overblik over denne gamle hovedvej. Byen udviklede sig som en lille købstad med en smule industri inklusive Japanware,[2] og med kendt fængsel opført i 1841/42.[3]
I moderne tid er Usk blevet kendt for sine Britain in Bloom-konkurrencer, og den vandt Large Village award i 2005. I 2001 havde byen 2.318 indbyggere,[4] og dette var steget til 2.834 i 2011.[5]
