Trelleck Grange (or Trellech Grange) is a small hamlet in a rural area of Monmouthshire, Wales.

Trelleck Grange is located about three miles south of Trelleck, two miles west of Tintern, and seven miles south of Monmouth, the county town of Monmouthshire. It sits on high ground above the Wye Valley and Tintern Abbey, between two tributaries of the Angiddy Brook.

The area was once part of the manor of Trelleck, with a church known as Ecclesia Mainuon, but in 1138 it was granted to the monks of the then newly established Tintern Abbey by Gilbert de Clare, the Marcher lord of Striguil or Chepstow. The monks then cultivated it as a grange, making it the principal farm for food production for the Abbey.

A small parish church, with no known dedication, still exists, surrounded by farm buildings. It was largely rebuilt on the original foundations in 1861. The village sits above the Angiddy valley and provided homes and accommodation for the 'Iron workers' who worked in the many iron works in the area, including Pontysaison between 1600 and 1870.
