Pentrefelin railway station was a station on the Tanat Valley Light Railway, located two miles south-east of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, Powys, Wales serving the hamlet of Pentrefelin. The station opened in 1904 and formally closed in 1951.[2] The platform was located to the east of a level crossing on a minor road to Glantanat Isaf. The platform had a corrugated iron shelter, lamps and a nameboard. There was a goods loop on the north side of the line. The platform is still extant on farmland.
