Withybush General Hospital is a 311-bed district general hospital in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is one of four acute general hospitals operated by Hywel Dda Health Board.

The hospital was built between 1973–78 and officially opened 15 June 1979. A new Emergency and Urgent Care centre was opened in 2010.

There were concerns about the hospital's long term prospects, leading to protests in 2010.

In September 2014 a new renal dialysis unit run by Fresenius Medical Care Renal Services Ltd was opened at the hospital, with a contract to run for at least 7 years.

As part of the reorganisation of acute services in Wales a 24/7 inpatient paediatric service will be provided at West Wales General Hospital from October 2014. Withybush will have a new 12-hour paediatric ambulatory care unit
