Cefn Rhigos (English: '(the) ridge (at) Rhigos') is a hamlet to the west of the village of Rhigos, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Despite being {{convert|8|mile}} from the town centre, it is within the Aberdare postal district.
It is the most westerly named settlement of the Cynon Valley. The border with the Vale of Neath lies a few hundred yards to the west.
Bethel Methodist chapel dates from 1860. With a plain architectural style, it has semi-circular arch windows and a central porch. It was originally built in 1839. The present structure was extended in 1905.{{cite web |url=https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/10197/ |title=Bethel Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, Mount Road, Cefn Rhigos |publisher=coflein.gov.uk |date=September 2010 |access-date=22 February 2025}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.findachurch.co.uk/church/rhigos/18263.htm|title=Bethel Methodist Church, Rhigos - Find a Church}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.methodist.org.uk/findachurch/bethel-rhigos/|title=Bethel Rhigos|website=The Methodist Church}}
