Dovey Junction railway station (Welsh: Cyffordd Dyfi) is a railway station on the Cambrian Line in Wales. It is the junction where the line splits into the line to Aberystwyth and the Cambrian Coast Line to Pwllheli. Passenger services are provided by Arriva Trains Wales.

The station is in the midst of a large nature reserve, near to the Cardigan Bay coast. There is no settlement here but, contrary to common belief, it is not completely isolated: the three-quarter mile station path provides passenger access to and from the tiny village of Glandyfi.

The station has been rebuilt twice in recent years, the original Great Western Railway buildings first being replaced at some point in the 1970s by a flat roofed station building. This building was subsequently replaced in the 1990s by a simple bus shelter, having fallen into a state of disrepair and being far larger than required at this remote location.

Dovey Junction is also the name of a football team founded in 2003, associated with the Aberystwyth Digs League.
