Morfa Mawddach railway station, formerly Barmouth Junction, is in Gwynedd, Wales, on the Cambrian Coast Railway from Dovey Junction at its junction with the Ruabon to Barmouth line (closed in 1965). Between Morfa Mawddach and Barmouth the railway crosses the Afon Mawddach on the famous Barmouth Bridge.
Morfa Mawddach seems to be mainly used by people living in or visiting the area from south of the Mawddach Estuary, since parking at the station and taking the train to Barmouth is much quicker than the 20-mile road journey via Dolgellau. Originally a four-platform station, it is now a single platform unstaffed halt. Trains stop on request.
The trackbed from Dolgellau now forms the Llwybr Mawddach (Mawddach Trail), which officially starts at the station car park.
