Fishguard Bay (Welsh: Bae Abergwaun) is a bay on the north Pembrokeshire coast, Wales. It opens north into Cardigan Bay and features rugged cliffs, tiny coves and the sheltered Fishguard Harbour and port of Lower Fishguard. Ferries from Fishguard cross to Ireland, and numerous activities are carried out in this holiday area.

Much of the bay's coastline is within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park though the developed areas of Fishguard and Goodwick are excluded. Fronting onto the much larger Cardigan Bay, Fishguard Bay stretches from Dinas Island (actually a peninsula) to Crincoed Point, three miles to the west.
