Fire crews were called to the property in Lon Tanyrallt, Alltwen, near Pontardawe, at 1.40am on Wednesday.
They rescued the boy from an upstairs bedroom in the two-storey semi-detached house but he died at the scene.
A three-year-old boy was also rescued and take to hospital along with his sister, six, and mother who had both managed to escape the blaze.
They were all suffering from suspected smoke inhalation.
