Rhoose Cardiff International Airport railway station is a railway station that serves Cardiff International Airport in the village of Rhoose. It is located on the Vale of Glamorgan Line from Cardiff to Bridgend via Barry and Llantwit Major. This station opened on 12 June 2005. Passenger services are operated by Arriva Trains Wales as part of the Valley Lines network.

Following its recent re-opening with a new name, the station was previously known as "Rhoose" before it closed in 1964, this station now holds the distinction of having the longest names for a station as recognised by National Rail in the UK, in both English (33 letters, excluding spaces) and Welsh (Maes Awyr Rhyngwladol Caerdydd Y Rhws - 29 Welsh letters). There are two examples of longer names in Welsh, however, both were deliberately given new contrived names to take the record for the longest name. (Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is known officially as either Llanfairpwll or Llanfairpwllgwyngyll — the longer name is not shown on National Rail information documents — and Gorsafawddacha'idraigodanheddogleddollônpenrhynareurdraethceredigion was deliberately fabricated to improve upon the length of the former.)
