Haverfordwest railway station serves the town of Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

The usual service pattern is one train every two hours in each direction: southwards to Milford Haven; and east/northwards to Manchester Piccadilly via Swansea, Cardiff Central and Hereford.

Whilst the station has two platforms (as the site of the only passing loop on this section), most trains use platform one as it is adjacent to the entrance and ticket office. The line through the station was double track until 1988 and the station had its own signal box, but this closed when the branch from Clarbeston Road was singled and re-signalled in September of that year; the entire route is now worked under track circuit block regulations from the box at the latter station.

The station is staffed during the daytime and has toilet facilities, a newspaper kiosk, ticket office and a station buffet on platform one. For times when the station building is closed, an automated ticket kiosk allows passengers to buy tickets with a debit or credit card, or to collect tickets from purchases made online.

A bus stop outside the station allows interchanges with services to St David's, Fishguard and Cardigan, as well as a direct service to Aberystwyth. There is also a Taxi rank directly outside the station.

Haverfordwest railway station has received a number of awards, including Anglo-Irish Best Station Awards in 1991 and 1992. High speed train services stopped at Haverfordwest until the early 1990s, terminating in 1994. The station was refurbished in 2002 and officially re-opened on 25 April 2002.
