Llangybi was a railway station located some distance from Llangybi, Gwynedd, Wales.

The station was isolated and lightly used, but it had two platforms and remained open until the line closed because it was a crossing place where the otherwise single track route became twin track for a short distance. [8]

The line and station were closed in December 1964.
