Llanberis railway station was located in Llanberis, Gwynedd, Wales. It opened 1 July 1869. The station closed for regular passenger services in 1930 but was still used by summer excursion trains until 7 September 1962 and freight services until 3 September 1964.
The last fare-paying passenger service was an enthusiasts' special on 20 October 1964.
An engine shed stood between the goods yard and the 42' turntable beyond the end of the platform. From 1948 to 1962 some excursion trains used an observation car which was turned round on the turntable so occupants always had an open view. The shed closed around 1915 and had been demolished by 1919. The goods yard was the last part of the working railway to close.
The station had a ticket platform at its northern end. A camping coach was sited opposite it for many years.
The line was lifted in 1965. The station site and most of the track bed as far as Cwm-y-Glo are now occupied by the improved A4086, which by-passes the centre of Llanberis. In 2015 the original station building was in use as a craft shop.
