Duhonw is a rural community in Powys, Wales, to the south of Builth Wells (Welsh: Llanfair ym Muallt), in the historic county of Breconshire.^[1] Covering an area of 4376ha and including scattered farms and dwellings, it is bounded to its north by the Afon Irfon, to its south by Mynydd Epynt and Banc y Celyn (472m) and to its east the rivers Duhonw and Wye (Welsh: Afon Gwy).^{[1] [2]} Llangammarch Wells' (Welsh: Llangamarch) is to its west.

Its population was 294, according to the 2011 census;^[2] a 2% fall since the 300 people noted in 2001.^[3]

The 2011 census showed 14.6% of the population could speak Welsh, a rise from 9.2% in 2001.^[4]
