Cemmes Road was a railway station on the Newtown and Machynlleth Railway (N&MR) in Mid-Wales, serving the village of Cemmaes Road.

The N&MR, passed through the Cambrian Mountains in the deep Talerddig cutting, which formed the summit of the line. From there it descended towards the coast, reaching the Dyfi valley at the village of Cemmaes Road. Here there was a junction with the private Mawddwy Railway. The N&MR continued west to Machynlleth.

The next station north of Cemmes road on the Mawddwy Railway served the village of Cemmaes; to avoid confusion with that station, the N&MR's English backers named the junction station using an Anglicanised-version of the village's Welsh language name.

Cemmes Road shut under the Beeching Axe in 1965, although the station building still exists today as a private house.
