Villefranche-de-Conflent (Catalan "Vilafranca de Conflent") is a small walled town in the Pyrénées-Orientales "département", southwestern France.

The town is tightly packed within the original castle walls and is bounded on one side by the road running up into the Cerdagne and on the other by the Conflent.

It is well known as one of the main stops for the Yellow train.
