Aberystwyth Furs, also known as AberFurs, is a regional furry group based in Aberystwyth, Wales, UK. In-person meets are run monthly, traditionally on the third saturday of the month. The community was founded in 2018 due to a lack of furry community for the town, it's university, and the surrounding area.
Aberystwyth Furs is a part of WelshFurs.

- The first official meet was held on November 16th 2019, with a small get together at the Aberystwyth Pier Arcade. There were three attendees.
- The second meet was held a month later, on December 14th, 2019. This included the first AberFurs fursuit walk, through the Aberystwyth Promenade. This meet had five attendees.
