Ynyshir railway station served the village of Ynyshir, in the Rhondda Fach valley in south Wales, from 1876 to 1964.
The station was opened by the Taff Vale Railway (TVR) in 1876, on its Maerdy Branch, which ran along the Rhondda Fach valley. It was the first station up the valley from the junction at Porth. At a later date, the spelling of the station name was amended to Ynyshir.
The TVR amalgamated with the Great Western Railway (GWR) on 1 January 1922; the GWR in its turn amalgamated with other railways to form British Railways on 1 January 1948.
The station was closed by British Railways on 15 June 1964.
