Maesteg railway station is one of two railway stations that serve the town of Maesteg in South Wales. The 1992 built station is located in the centre of the town, adjacent to the Somerfield Supermarket store and on former sidings.

The station is now the terminus of the Maesteg Line from Cardiff via Bridgend. Previously, the line continued northbound through the old Maesteg station which closed with the withdrawal of passenger services in 1970. The former station and footbridge still exists, although the track has now been removed and there is heavy tree and plant growth at the location.
