Treorchy railway station is a railway station serving the town of Treorchy and village of Cwmparc in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. It is located on the Rhondda Line, between Ynyswen and Ton Pentre, from Cardiff Docks (Bute Town).
The first station in the town opened as Treorky on 27 September 1869 by the Taff Vale Railway, though the line had existed since 1849. It moved to its current site in 1884, and was renamed to Treorchy in either 1892 or 1904. It was subsequently taken over by the Great Western Railway as part of the Railways Act 1921. The line through the station was reduced to single track on 6 January 1972.
In January 2007, a boy was killed by an oncoming train at the station, because he was listening to an MP3 player with headphones and did not hear it approaching.
The station is on the western side of the town, on the road to the village of Cwmparc. There is a single platform, a shelter with seating and a help point, a ticket machine, and a free car park.

Monday-Saturday, there is a half-hourly service to Southbound and to Northbound. There is a two hourly service in each direction on Sundays. In July 2018, previous franchise operator Arriva Trains Wales announced a trial period of extra Sunday services on the Rhondda Line to Cardiff and Barry Island. This was in response to a survey by local AM Leanne Wood and the success of extra Sunday services on the Merthyr Line and the Rhymney Line.
The Rhondda line was electrified in 2024. This allows faster journeys from Cardiff to Treorchy, encouraging the local economy.
The services from this station were suspended in Summer 2023, due to major route upgrade work being carried out at multiple locations as part of the Valley Lines electrification scheme. A replacement bus service operated between Pontypridd and to Treherbert, calling at all local stations, until February 2024. Rail services resumed at the station from 26 February 2024 following completion of the majority of the infrastructure works.
