Pembrokeshire County County Council (in Welsh language, Cyngor Sir Penfro) is the local government authority for the county of Pembrokeshire, one of 22 Principal Areas in Wales. The key towns in the county include Fishguard, Haverfordwest (the administrative centre), Milford Haven, Pembroke, Pembroke Dock, Tenby and, most famously, Britain's smallest city, the historic St David's with its beautiful cathedral and population of just 1,800.

The county is very popular as a holiday and water sports destination (over 4 m tourists per year) with its spectacular coastline recognised as a National Park in 1952 and including island bird sanctuaries, the high windswept Preseli hills (the source of stones for Stonehenge), winding creeks and stunning sandy beaches.

By contrast, as a maritime county, it has attracted coastal industrial development in the southern region with the oil refineries and docks around around Milford Haven and Pembroke Dock. Other key industries include mixed agriculture, fishing and a growing culinary reputation.
