Abercynon South railway station is one of two railway stations serving the village of Abercynon in the Cynon Valley, South Wales. It is located on the Merthyr Tydfil branch of the Merthyr Line. Passenger services are provided by Arriva Trains Wales.

It was first opened on this site as "Aberdare Junction" by the Taff Vale Railway in 1846 and renamed "Abercynon" in 1896 and to its present title in 1988. The original station buildings have been demolished but the Great Western Railway signal box of 1932 (which originally came from Birmingham Moor Street station) survives^[1].
