Rhes-y-cae is a small parish and village in Flintshire, Wales. Literally translated from Welsh, Rhes-y-cae is 'Row of fields'.

Local facilities include a chapel, a church and a park, which is situated next to Ysgol Rhes-y-cae. The school closed in 2013, due to there being too few students to warrant its continued operation.

The parish was consecrated on 27 June 1847. [1]

The village shop has shut down, the bakery has closed to the public, and Rhes-y-cae pub, The Miners Arms, closed in 2014. [2]
